Trembling is an ancient means of communication

There is an opinion among psychologists that trembling is an ancient adaptive mechanism.

Imagine a clan of ancient people. To survive in harsh conditions, they need to stick together. After all, alone there is little chance of building a reliable shelter, getting food for yourself and driving away large predators. In order for a group of people to stick together, excitement and aggression must be controlled. We need clear signals that will make it clear what is happening to a member of the community.

For example, two men stand opposite each other, and each wants to become a leader. The fact that their hands are shaking with excitement informs everyone around them that men are extremely excited, they can barely contain themselves and their energy is about to splash out. This is a signal to others to “Move away!”

Each man mentally evaluates his strength and the strength of his opponent. One of them feels that he is stronger. Because of this, he perceives his trembling as aggression ready to manifest itself, he scares the opponent with his roar, he is preparing to fight. The other man is not sure of victory, so he perceives his trembling as a manifestation of fear, he will prefer not to get involved in a fight and will move away. Thanks to trembling, it was possible to avoid direct clashes and bloodshed.

Animals also have similar bodily signals; for example, cats’ tails twitch in stressful situations.

Lesson 4. How to avoid nervousness during an important meeting.

Pretend calm: even if neither your emotional mood nor breathing exercises helped you relieve tension, then at least try with all your might to demonstrate external calm and equanimity. And this is necessary not only to mislead your opponents about your current state. Expressing outer peace helps to achieve inner peace. This operates on the principle of feedback, not only how you feel determines your facial expressions, but also your facial expressions determine how you feel. This principle is easy to test: when you smile at someone, you feel better and more cheerful, even if you were in a bad mood before. I actively use this principle in my daily practice and this is not my invention, it is really a fact, it is even written about in Wikipedia in the article “emotions”. So the calmer you want to appear, the more relaxed you actually become.

Watch your facial expressions, gestures and intonation: the feedback principle obliges you to constantly look inside yourself and be aware of how you look from the outside. Do you seem too stressed? Are your eyes shifting? Are the movements smooth and measured or abrupt and impulsive? Does your face express cold impenetrability or can all your excitement be read on it? In accordance with the information about yourself received from your senses, you adjust all your body movements, voice, and facial expression. The fact that you have to take care of yourself in itself helps you get together and concentrate. And it’s not just that with the help of internal observation you control yourself. By observing yourself, you focus your thoughts on one point - on yourself, and do not let them get confused and lead you in the wrong direction. This is how concentration and calm are achieved.

Eliminate all markers of nervousness: What do you usually do when you're nervous? Are you fiddling with a ballpoint pen? Are you chewing on a pencil? Are you tying your left big toe and little toe into a knot? Now forget about it, keep your hands straight and don’t change their positions often. We don’t fidget in our chair, we don’t shift from foot to foot. We continue to look after ourselves.

Take your time: rush and bustle always sets a special nervous tone. Therefore, take your time even if you are late for a meeting. Since any rush very quickly disrupts composure and a calm mood. You begin to nervously rush from one to another, in the end you only provoke excitement. No matter how much you are rushed, do not rush, being late is not so scary, it is better to save your nerves. This applies not only to important meetings: try to get rid of haste in every aspect of your life: when you are getting ready for work, traveling in public transport, doing work. It's an illusion that when you rush, you achieve results faster. Yes, the speed increases, but only slightly, but you lose a lot in composure and concentration.

That's all. All these principles complement each other and can be summarized in the call to “look after yourself.” The rest is specific and depends on the nature of the meeting itself. I would only advise you to think about each of your phrases, take your time with your answer, carefully weigh and analyze everything. There is no need to try to make an impression in all available ways, you will make one if you do everything right and don’t worry, work on the quality of your performance. There is no need to mumble and get lost if you are caught by surprise: calmly swallow, forget and move on.

Teenage tremor

During adolescence, the body grows rapidly and in some cases a large release of hormones occurs. An excess of the latter leads, among other things, to nervous breakdowns. Increased excitability and irritability of young people often becomes the cause of conflict situations. Outwardly, this state is noticeable in the shaking of hands. At this age, young people are especially sensitive and vulnerable. Therefore, measures must be taken as delicately as possible.

Natalya Pavlovna, endocrinologist, Voronezh. “Parents of teenagers often contact me because they are concerned about tremors in their children’s hands. It's nice that there is contact between children and parents. When your hands shake from nerves, it is not difficult to determine the cause; to do this, you need to examine the thyroid gland and take medications prescribed by your doctor for a while. But still, the main thing in such a situation is that the child does not withdraw into himself, but solves the problem with his family.”

Children, when their hands shake from excitement, sometimes consider themselves defective, inferior and perceive such a situation painfully. This pathology must be eliminated very carefully so as not to injure the already tense nervous system of the teenager.

Often young people try to get out of a difficult situation on their own, resorting to alcohol and stimulants. But such a solution to the problem only relieves symptoms for a short time, without eliminating the cause that led to trembling hands.

Teenagers are not willing to share problems with adults, so parents need to be attentive and careful. During such a period, others should treat the child’s problem with understanding, support him, and not provoke him into conflicts.

Typically, teenage tremors go away over time. The exception is cases of hereditary disease that the child inherited from his parents. Note! Like any tremor, teenage tremor occurs due to spasms of cerebral vessels. Therefore, any self-medication can have negative consequences.

To the teenager’s question: “When I’m worried, my hands shake – what should I do in this situation?” – there is only one answer: contact a specialist.

To successfully treat prolonged hand tremors in a teenager, it is necessary to consult an endocrinologist. The doctor will examine the thyroid gland, review tests and may prescribe an ultrasound of the thyroid gland.

We recommend reading the article: The terrible word tremor - all the reasons why young people’s hands shake?

Excess of hormones can also manifest itself in the formation of nodules on this organ. In this case, appropriate treatment is prescribed that will eliminate the problem. Over time, such drugs are abandoned as hormonal levels normalize.

Students also often ask themselves the question: why do your hands shake when you’re nervous? – see below the causes of tremors in the hands.

Lesson 7. How to strengthen the nervous system and how to stop getting nervous over trifles

In order to stop being nervous, it is not enough just to follow the lessons that I outlined above. It is also necessary to bring the body and mind into a state of peace. And the next thing I will tell you about will be those rules, following which you can strengthen your nervous system and experience less nervousness in general, be calmer and more relaxed. As a result of this, you will understand how to stop being nervous over trifles . These methods are focused on long-term results; they will make you less susceptible to stress in general, and not only prepare you for a responsible event.

• Firstly, to correct the physiological factor of nervousness and bring the nervous system to a state of rest, you need to meditate regularly. This is very good for calming the nervous system and calming the mind. I’ve written a lot about this, so I won’t dwell on it.
• Secondly, go in for sports (how to force yourself to play sports) and take a set of measures that support your health (contrast showers, healthy eating, vitamins, etc.). A healthy body has a healthy mind: your moral well-being depends not only on mental factors. Sports strengthens the nervous system.
• Walk more, spend time outdoors, try to sit in front of the computer less.
• Do breathing exercises.
• Quit bad habits! Learn to relieve stress without cigarettes, alcohol, etc. Look for healthy ways to relax! Drink less coffee!
• If the reason you cannot relax is constant nervous haste, impulsiveness, constantly distracted attention, difficulty sitting in one place for a long time, then I recommend reading this article. (How to get rid of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD))

I have already written an article about how to relieve stress without alcohol, which you can read here.

Causes of hand trembling during excitement

Experts carefully study the nature of this unpleasant phenomenon and identify several reasons that lead to hand tremors during excitement. This:

• Non-pathological causes;
• Excess of stimulants;
• Consequence of taking medications;
• Other reasons.

Tremor may be a consequence of alcohol intoxication - read here.

So why do hands tremble when excited if a person is physically healthy? Non-pathological, and therefore physiological, causes include hand tremors caused by excessive anxiety, physical exertion, and hypothermia. Such a tremor is not dangerous; it quickly passes when the situation that provoked such a reaction of the body to external influence is eliminated. Almost all people are susceptible to this type of tremor, since we all react to certain stressful situations.

Igor Petrovich, neurologist, Togliatti. “You can’t be lenient about tremor. With frequent manifestations, it is dangerous and can be the result of serious disorders of the brain. If cases of hand tremors are repeated frequently, it is necessary to be examined by a doctor and should not be delayed.”

Often, when stimulants are abused, the hands and head shake with excitement - tremor of the limbs, neck, and head occurs. It is dangerous because cerebral vascular spasm, which is the main cause of trembling limbs, is caused by chemical exposure, and not by experiences. In addition to the brain itself, the entire digestive and circulatory system suffers.

We suggest you read: Is it possible to use chicory for edema?

In order to get rid of the tremor caused by this influence, it is necessary not only to abandon the stimulant, but to cleanse the body. Bring blood counts and blood pressure back to normal.

For some complex diseases, the doctor is forced to prescribe medications that can cause a malfunction of the brain. Such side effects are inevitable when the patient's life is at stake. As a result, victory in a fight - life or death - is won by a person. And this is the main thing. In such cases, it is necessary to follow the doctor’s instructions, then the tremor will have minimal manifestation and will not cause much discomfort to the patient.

Due to the fact that at a respectable age people already have rather frayed nerves, the slightest experience leads to severe trembling. The phrase “don’t be nervous” is clearly not enough in this case.

Good rest, healthy sleep, protection from stress, and balanced nutrition help.

Other causes of tremors in older people are liver and kidney diseases, medications, and high blood pressure. As a rule, older people take care of their health independently (unlike young people) and take medications regularly.

Hunger and some diseases (diabetes mellitus) can provoke tremors. In such cases, it is enough to normalize the diet and the problem will be solved.

Read - what is tremor and why older people’s hands shake.

Often with stimulant abuse

tremor of the limbs, neck, and head occurs. It is dangerous because cerebral vascular spasm, which is the main cause of trembling limbs, is caused by chemical exposure, and not by experiences. In addition to the brain itself, the entire digestive and circulatory system suffers.

Why women and men shake at the sight of a loved one, their hands and body tremble: reasons

Falling in love is a feeling that can completely cover a person. Every person, at least once in his life, has experienced a strong feeling of love. This is inherent in everyone’s nature and you should not be ashamed of such experiences. However, not everyone is able to cope with their emotions and therefore experiences, nervousness, and stress often arise.

First of all, you need to understand what “falling in love” essentially is. This is the feeling that appears in every person completely unexpectedly. Actually, it can also disappear. When a person meets “his soul mate” (that is, that person who is similar to him in character or is the embodiment of something that people like so much), he automatically experiences sympathy for him.

It is impossible to prepare for falling in love; it happens on a subconscious level with the participation of the brain and the entire nervous system. Surprisingly, experts confidently compare this feeling with a nervous disorder, since it is characterized by similar symptoms:

• Concerns
• Intrusive thoughts
• Energy boost
• Inspiration
• The emergence and decline of strength
• Sense of anxiety
• Increased heart rate
• Trembling in the knees
• Talkativeness
• Mood swings
• Fear
• Smiling

INTERESTING: From the point of view of chemistry, it is also possible to explain the feeling of falling in love. Noticing favorite features in a person, the person’s nervous system begins to work in enhanced mode. The body begins to produce hormones: dopamine and adrenaline. It is the concentration of these hormones that leads to excessive overexcitation and therefore one can notice such a characteristic symptom as trembling in the limbs.

Why does a person become a “coward” in front of a loved one?

Possible consequences and complications

With prolonged tremor, speech and writing are often impaired, and there is severe headache in the back of the head and neck.

To get rid of tremors, eliminate bad habits

If your head trembles and shakes due to stress or anxiety, there is no particular cause for concern; a neurologist will select effective medications to solve the problem. With constant and severe tremor, a comprehensive examination and long-term treatment are required, often in a hospital setting.

Neurology

If your hands tremble with excitement - how to treat

Treatment of tremor is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. For a positive result, you need to consult a doctor and analyze several factors in detail:

1. Patient's health status;
2. Identify the situation that led to a sharp increase in trembling in the hands;
3. Determine the possibility of eliminating the cause of the excitement;
4. If there is no way to eliminate the cause of stress, make a decision about drug treatment for tremor, taking into account all the components.

Due to the fact that the cause of tremor is a disruption of the blood vessels in the brain, taking drugs that are actively advertised in the media is dangerous.

The ideal can be considered therapy in which the very fact that caused the excitement, and with it the tremor, is eliminated. Strengthening procedures, avoidance of alcohol, artificial stimulants, as well as taking medications prescribed by a doctor will lead to healing.

After recovery, it is necessary to periodically see your doctor. This will avoid troubles in the future.

The old truth - it is better to prevent a disease than to treat it will never lose its relevance. Tempering procedures, moderate physical activity, thoughtful nutrition, quitting smoking and alcohol will not protect you from anxiety, but will help the body cope with stress with minimal damage to health.

The discomfort that people experience when nervous is not a death sentence or the end of the world. On the contrary, as long as we can worry and rejoice, we are alive.

Due to the fact that the cause of tremor is a disruption of the blood vessels in the brain, it is dangerous to take drugs that are actively advertised in the media. Please note! Only a doctor, taking into account a complete study of the situation, prescribes individual treatment. The ideal can be considered therapy in which the very fact that caused the excitement, and with it the tremor, is eliminated. Strengthening procedures, avoidance of alcohol, artificial stimulants, as well as taking medications prescribed by a doctor will lead to healing.

It shakes terribly when a conflict begins...

I would just like to know if there are people here with similar problems. We all know very well what social phobia is, and if you imagine that you are not only afraid of people, but also that your fears manifest themselves physically. I’ve always been closed off, always afraid of something, and I don’t even remember when it began to manifest itself to others, but it’s just a nightmare. Whenever I feel nervous, I start to shake. I'm just shaking like a leaf in the wind. It even really sucks. You can completely forget about all public speaking.

Why you shouldn't be afraid to perform on stage

You may convince yourself that public speaking is useful, and your phobia will partially subside, but the fear will not go away. There is no need to fight it, it has to be there for the audience to get a return from you. Another question is that fear needs to be controlled and the right ways to overcome it must be known. After all, if you are very nervous, it will ruin the report. Let's look at some tips to help you manage your performance anxiety:

• Take proper time to prepare for your presentation. You must understand what you are saying, that is, under no circumstances should you make your knowledge of the text automatic, since you will automatically forget it in case of stress. Thoroughly study the topic of the speech, get into the essence for a deeper understanding. In addition to what to say, you must clearly know how to say it. And you shouldn’t think that no one is working on this aspect. On the contrary, the more a person has to perform in public, the more he understands how important it is to rehearse every step in order to feel confident on stage. Conventional rule: 1 minute of speech is equal to an hour of work.
• Fearless public speaking should be done at a moderate pace to keep breathing even. If you jabber, the audience will think that you are not interested in the topic and want to get rid of an uncomfortable speech as soon as possible. Pronounce consonants and vowels clearly, without swallowing. It is important to rid your speech of words of parasites, especially those that slip into pauses. Leave pauses as if they were intended, otherwise it will seem like you forgot something.
• You must know in advance what audience you are speaking to. What information will interest them, what do they expect from this performance - take this into account when preparing so that the audience is involved in the process. Any topic can be covered from different angles, and you need to choose the one that will be relevant to the audience. Ask the event organizers for guest lists in advance, study what areas of activity they work in, connect your topic with their work, and formulate the main points of the speech.
• To create a comfortable atmosphere for yourself and the audience, create a dialogue before starting your speech. Talk with those present about abstract topics. Once you feel that contact has been established, you can smoothly move on to presenting information. This way you will stop worrying and the audience will feel relaxed.
• Change your mentality and ask yourself the question: “Why am I standing on stage now?” When your attention is turned to yourself, i.e. thinking about how you look, how your voice sounds, etc., you begin to worry. If you catch yourself thinking such thoughts, then think, are you here to show off yourself or to present information useful to the audience? This attitude will help cope with a groundless phobia.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with Effective drugs for the treatment of trichomoniasis in women and men

Having understood the sources of the formation of a phobia for stage performances, you must first of all convince yourself that this fear does not exist, that we are starting to worry in vain.

The main point on the way to overcoming fear, which you need to realize and feel, is that public speaking is an opportunity to show your best side and evaluate your skills in working with an audience. This is important because every day, at work or school, we communicate with people, and when this brings us discomfort, our productivity drops, our mood worsens, etc.

Fearless public speaking is key to your self-confidence. By training skills by presenting information in front of other people, you bring actions to automatic execution, and over time you will no longer feel discomfort when communicating with people. Let's summarize the useful aspects that can be gained from performing on stage:

• Experience communicating with large audiences to help develop communication skills.
• In the process of preparation, you will deepen your knowledge related to the topic of the speech.
• At work conferences or student summits, your speech will be noticed by influential figures, which can benefit you in the future.
• With proper preparation for reports, your speech will soon become more competent.

Lesson 1. The nature of nervousness. Necessary defense mechanism or hindrance?

Our palms begin to sweat, we may experience tremors, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, confusion in our thoughts, it is difficult to gather ourselves, concentrate, it is difficult to sit still, we want to occupy our hands with something, smoke. These are the symptoms of nervousness. Now ask yourself, how much do they help you? Do they help cope with stressful situations? Are you better at negotiating, taking an exam, or communicating on a first date when you're on edge? The answer is, of course not, and what’s more, it can ruin the whole result.

Therefore, it is necessary to firmly understand that the tendency to be nervous is not a natural reaction of the body to a stressful situation or some ineradicable feature of your personality. Rather, it is simply a certain mental mechanism embedded in a system of habits and/or a consequence of problems with the nervous system. Stress is only your reaction to what is happening, and no matter what happens, you can always react to it in different ways! I assure you that the impact of stress can be minimized and nervousness eliminated. But why eliminate this? Because when you're nervous:

• Your thinking ability decreases and you have a harder time concentrating, which can make things worse and require your mental resources to be stretched to the limit.
• You have less control over your intonation, facial expressions, and gestures, which can have a bad effect on important negotiations or a date.
• Nervousness causes fatigue and tension to accumulate more quickly, which is bad for your health and well-being.
• If you are often nervous, this can lead to various diseases (however, a very significant part of diseases stem from problems of the nervous system)
• You worry about little things and therefore do not pay attention to the most important and valuable things in your life.
• You are prone to bad habits: smoking, alcohol, because you need to relieve stress with something

Remember all those situations when you were very nervous and this negatively affected the results of your actions. Surely everyone has many examples of how you broke down, unable to withstand psychological pressure, lost control and lost concentration. So we will work with you on this.

Here is the first lesson, during which we learned that:

• Nervousness does not bring any benefit, but only hinders
• You can get rid of it by working on yourself
• In everyday life there are few real reasons to be nervous, since we or our loved ones are rarely threatened by anything, we mostly worry about trifles

I will return to the last point in the next lesson and, in more detail, at the end of the article and tell you why this is so.

You should configure yourself like this:

I have no reason to be nervous, it bothers me and I intend to get rid of it and this is real!

Don’t think that I’m just talking about something that I myself have no idea about. Throughout my childhood, and then my youth, until the age of 24, I experienced serious problems with the nervous system. I couldn’t pull myself together in stressful situations, I worried about every little thing, I even almost fainted because of my sensitivity! This had a negative impact on health: pressure surges, “panic attacks,” dizziness, etc. began to be observed. Now all this is in the past.

Of course, I can’t say now that I have the best self-control in the world, but all the same, I stopped being nervous in those situations that make most people nervous, I became much calmer, compared to my previous state, I reached a fundamentally different level of self-control. Of course, I still have a lot to work on, but I’m on the right path and there is dynamics and progress, I know what to do.

In general, everything I’m talking about here is based solely on my experience of self-development, I’m not making anything up and I’m only talking about what helped me. So if I had not been such a painful, vulnerable and sensitive young man and, then, as a result of personal problems, I had not begun to remake myself - all this experience and the site that summarizes and structures it would not exist.

So let's move on. We have learned the first lesson, let's move on to the second.

Diagnosis and treatment methods

When carrying out diagnostics, the first step is an examination by a neurologist with a detailed interview of the patient. The patient will need to describe the symptoms of the tremor, remember the time when it first began and what it was associated with. It is important to establish the reason on which the tremor developed. It is necessary to carry out a number of diagnostic studies, which usually include:

• MRI;
• electroencephalography;
• angiography;
• electromyography;
• several types of blood tests;
• genetic examination.

Additional examinations and consultations with specialists may be prescribed. Based on the collected medical history and data obtained from research, the doctor prescribes treatment.

Nothing just happens, and if a person experiences periodic discomfort that prevents him from living a normal life, the etiology and cause of the disease should be identified as early as possible. A comprehensive examination will help to understand why the body shakes and severe nervous tension occurs, leading to disorders in the form of buzzing, tremor or trembling.

For neurosis and other aggravating symptoms, the patient is referred to:

• For EEG, ultrasound and ECG - referred by a therapist or cardiologist;
• REG of vessels - vascular surgeon or attending physician;
• Echo - EG, MRI of the brain - the prerogative of a neurologist;
• For detailed laboratory examination of blood and urine tests.

You may need the help of a hematologist, endocrinologist, or psychotherapist; they are able to understand the cause and eliminate it.

The treatment course depends on the cause of the nervous condition based on:

• Sedatives;
• Vitamin and mineral complexes;
• Antidepressants;
• Hormonal drugs;
• Psychotherapeutic procedures;
• By eliminating the provoking factors, the cause of the trembling disappears.

Motherwort, hawthorn, valerian, peony and all sedative medicines are gentle folk remedies when the body is shaking.

Antidepressants are indicated when the body is shaking, but only after a doctor’s prescription for depression, due to anxiety and phobia. These include: Amitriptyline, Fluoxetine, Sertraline, Azafen.

Vitamins B, A, C, D, calcium, selenium, magnesium.

When is long-term treatment required?

The following conditions require long-term treatment and medical supervision.

1. Consequences of head injury. If, as a result of the incident, the neurons of the extrapyramidal system were affected, zones of high activity will form in these areas of the brain - and the head will twitch.
2. Tumors in the brain. In addition to the reason described above, the tumor can also put pressure on the vessels, as a result of which the nerve cells do not receive enough nutrition and cannot fully perform their functions.
3. Infections. If certain bacteria or viruses reach the brain, an inflammatory process will begin, damaging blood vessels and neurons.
4. Gastrointestinal diseases. It is impossible to imagine how your head shakes because of your stomach or intestines when you are nervous, but such a factor exists. With inflammation or the presence of worms, the intestines do not absorb calcium well (as well as other nutrients). And a lack of calcium, as is already known, threatens to increase muscle and nervous excitability.
5. Mental illnesses. As soon as the neurons of the extrapyramidal system begin to participate in organic changes in the brain, additional nerve impulses will appear.
6. Reaction to medications. Some psychostimulants and anticonvulsants cause twitching of muscles, including the head.

With any head shaking, you need to analyze your own life - perhaps you are too tired and need to adjust your life. And for greater benefit, visit a therapist and a neurologist, who will give you a reliable verdict and help you cope with the unpleasant symptom.

Features of treatment

In the case of a mental cause of trembling, it is treated by specialists from the field of psychiatry.

Medicines

The intensity of essential tremor can be reduced by drugs: Inderal, Mizolin, Neurontin, Topamax.

Sedatives and nootropics are also prescribed: Glycine, Ativan, Klonopin, Valium, Xanax.

Your doctor may recommend drinking less coffee, avoiding other stimulants, or stopping certain medications that may cause shaking. It is also recommended to worry less and do exercises every morning.

Although pharmacotherapy can help many patients and should always be used first, surgery is considered for severe tremors. Surgical intervention includes the following methods:

• Thalamotomy. An operation that disrupts the thalamus.
• Deep brain stimulation. Another type of thalamic surgery involves inserting a thin wire (electrode) into the thalamus and connecting it to a stimulator placed subcutaneously in the chest.
• Other surgical procedures.

This technique uses MRI to focus ultrasound on tissue destruction in the thalamus. Patients remain conscious throughout the procedure.

Causal factors of pathology

Various ailments can cause such an unpleasant small contraction of the head muscles, which occurs regularly. Its occurrence does not depend on the will of the sick person. The most common cause of head tremors of varying severity is osteochondrosis. In 90% of cases, rapid muscle microcontractions occur against the background of the development of cervical osteochondrosis.

This disorder occurs against the background of various pathologies:

• pinching of 1 cervical vertebra C1;
• pinched spinal nerves;
• autonomic disorder;
• lack of blood supply.

It is necessary to know the features of this neurological disease.

The following types of pathological process are distinguished:

1. Physiological tremor. In most cases, a person does not even feel these manifestations of deviations. Any healthy person is sometimes characterized by such oscillatory muscle movements of a completely insignificant amplitude. It is often impossible for strangers to notice these movements.
2. Local tremor. Rhythmic vibration occurs in a separate zone. At the same time, the chin, tongue, and cheeks tremble.
3. Benign head tremor. Due to nervous tension, in the process of physical activity, in a state of rest, rhythmic involuntary head shaking occurs. This pathology is characterized by a complete absence of increased manifestations, long periods of remission, and episodic attacks.
4. Pathological head tremor does not cause pain, but constantly requires special attention. The patient needs treatment, since this dangerous pathology interferes with a person’s normal life.

When is long-term treatment required?

The following conditions require long-term treatment and medical supervision.

1. Consequences of head injury. If, as a result of the incident, the neurons of the extrapyramidal system were affected, zones of high activity will form in these areas of the brain - and the head will twitch.
2. Tumors in the brain. In addition to the reason described above, the tumor can also put pressure on the vessels, as a result of which the nerve cells do not receive enough nutrition and cannot fully perform their functions.
3. Infections. If certain bacteria or viruses reach the brain, an inflammatory process will begin, damaging blood vessels and neurons.
4. Gastrointestinal diseases. It is impossible to imagine how your head shakes because of your stomach or intestines when you are nervous, but such a factor exists. With inflammation or the presence of worms, the intestines do not absorb calcium well (as well as other nutrients). And a lack of calcium, as is already known, threatens to increase muscle and nervous excitability.
5. Mental illnesses. As soon as the neurons of the extrapyramidal system begin to participate in organic changes in the brain, additional nerve impulses will appear.
6. Reaction to medications. Some psychostimulants and anticonvulsants cause twitching of muscles, including the head.

Folk recipes

You can also try using alternative (traditional) tremor therapy. Home treatment is most suitable for relief of the essential type.

Although the main therapeutic regimens for most cases of tremors consist of the use of synthetic prescription drugs and, if necessary, surgical procedures, some herbal medicines can be used with the consent of the doctor.

• Baikal skullcap. This herb is traditionally used as a mild relaxant and sedative. In addition, this plant is a natural muscle relaxant that can reduce spasms that occur with essential tremor.
• Passionflower. Because of its distinct relaxing properties, this plant is used to relieve anxiety and seizures in America and throughout Europe. The exact relaxing mechanism of this herb for its benefits for anxiety is not yet known. But passionflower is thought to increase gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in the brain.

Method number 1. Prepare for the event

1. Often, excitement takes people by surprise who are poorly prepared for the upcoming event. If you are soon planning a speech, report or performance, collect the necessary materials and literally memorize them.
2. Practice in front of the mirror until you like yourself. Then gather friends or strangers (even better), speak in front of them and ask for an objective assessment.
3. Think over your image in advance, namely makeup, hairstyle, clothes, shoes. You must look 100% perfect. Don’t forget to provide for incidents (torn tights, smudged mascara, bad pen, etc.).
4. If you are soon giving a speech to a large group of people and then giving answers, think in advance about the possible questions that people will ask. Your answers should be brief but meaningful, and your speech should be confident and professional.
