What are the reasons for trembling legs after sex? Tremor is a condition in which an absolutely healthy person experiences involuntary trembling in the limbs. There are several reasons why this condition may occur. Namely:
- Great excitement.
- Fear.
- Stress.
- Nervous tension.
- Significant physical activity.
Neurologists do not insist on treating this condition, since it has a short-term effect. It is enough just to eliminate the provoking factors.
Causes of tremor
If you have trembling for more than 2 weeks, which does not depend on physical activity and emotional experiences, then most likely it is caused by a pathology in the body.
Pathological tremor can occur against the background of a serious illness in a number of other symptoms. A concussion can also cause tremors in the limbs. Trembling does not go away on its own.
The following types of tremor are distinguished:
Side effects of medications - Chemicals and some medications can cause irregular tremors in the fingers. Treatment is symptomatic or discontinuation of this drug. Hormonal imbalances. An excess of thyroid hormones also causes hand tremors.
There is a trembling of the tongue when protruding. Changes in behavior are noted - anxiety, irritability. Thinning hair, increased heart rate, sweating and sudden weight loss are observed. Diabetes mellitus can also cause tremors. Accompanied by weakness and sweating. If you eat something sweet, then all the symptoms go away. Alcohol tremor . It manifests itself as trembling of the head, torso and spread fingers, with a hangover in the morning. The reason is advanced alcoholism. After drinking strong drinks, the tremor decreases or disappears altogether. Parkinsonian tremor (rest tremor). Hand trembling resembles the movement of fingers when counting change. If a person wants to make a movement, the tremor decreases or disappears. It appears asymmetrically - one leg (arm) trembles. Essential tremor (action tremor). It does not occur at rest, but during movement. It appears more often in old age and in most cases due to heredity. Tremor of the limbs in newborns. There are probably no parents who would not notice various twitches or twitches in their newborn child - in most cases this is due to the immaturity of the nervous system and the baby’s lack of experience in coordinating movements. But if the tremor does not go away by 3 months of life or appears continuously for weeks and months, then the cause may be: hyperglycemia, sepsis, intracranial hemorrhage, increased intracranial pressure, hypocalcemia and other diseases. In any case, it is better to consult a doctor.
When to Seek Help Immediately
Sudden muscle weakness may be a sign of a stroke, an interruption of blood flow to the brain. Call 103 or 112 if a sudden feeling of wobbly legs is accompanied by other symptoms:
- acute, very severe headache;
- dizziness;
- loss of balance;
- deterioration in coordination of movements;
- unilateral numbness - for example, one of the arms is suddenly taken away or one side of the face goes numb;
- blurred vision in one or both eyes;
- problems with speech - the tongue becomes unruly, it is difficult for you to pronounce the simplest words.
Any of these symptoms, together with weakness in the lower extremities, are enough to suggest a stroke. In this case, the slightest delay is deadly, and urgent medical attention is needed.
If there are no dangerous signs, try to figure out what exactly is happening to your lower limbs.
Symptoms of the disease
Rhythmic vibrations of body parts that are visible to the naked eye.
This may be, for example, trembling of outstretched arms, twitching of legs.
Due to its prevalence, diagnosing tremor does not cause difficulties for doctors. In some difficult-to-diagnose cases, rapid (high-speed) shooting or a thermograph (a device that records shaking in three planes) is prescribed.
Some types of tremors are determined using laboratory tests, for example in cases of thyroid disease.
Lifestyle
Patients need to minimize, or better yet stop, drinking alcohol and coffee.
If you still cannot sleep due to discomfort in your legs, doctors recommend
- Get up and walk around - if your legs want movement, don't deny them.
- Change your body position in bed, perhaps to one that is not usually typical for you.
- Take aspirin, it reduces symptoms. But remember that aspirin does not cure the disease and is only good as a one-time measure.
- Wear cotton socks.
Treatment of limb tremor
If the disease is not malignant, then it is enough to join relaxation procedures that relieve nervous tension, and the tremor will go away. Additionally, breathing exercises, sedatives and special baths are prescribed.
For pathological tremor
In the case of a mild form, the patient does not require special treatment; he needs to avoid uncomfortable positions, keep objects close to the body and grasp them firmly.
If a person needs to perform precise actions at work or an illness interferes with handling utensils, then drug treatment with beta blockers is prescribed, which reduce the amplitude of trembling, or completely eliminate the manifestations of the pathology.
But over time, the body can develop an addiction, so it is recommended to use the medicine before an important event or during stressful situations.
Alcohol can relieve tremors, but constant drinking is a sure path to alcoholism.
Therefore, alcohol in small quantities is consumed immediately before meals, then the patient can have lunch calmly.
In especially severe cases, when a person is diagnosed with a disability, surgery can help, in which the cerebellum area is stimulated with an electric current.
In conclusion, pathological tremor is almost impossible to overcome, but modern medications and advances in neurosurgery will help the patient again become a full-fledged member of society, and not be a burden to his loved ones.
In recent years, tremor has begun to appear much more often. It represents a trembling of a specific muscle or the entire body at once. Usually this problem is a consequence of prolonged stress, overwork and mental disorders, but there are more serious causes, for example, brain tumors, gene abnormalities, etc. Treatment in this situation will directly depend on the factor that influenced the development of the pathological abnormality.
