Handshake during writing

[Obaiah]

I am 28 year old, my hand shakes during writing since 8-9 years, which puts me in an embarrassing situation particularly when I have to write in front of someone. I always feel fear of writing before someone. I shall be grateful if some one guides me to come out of this problems, and please let me know if there is any doctor in Bangalore, to cure this problem

Hi

I am 46 year old, I have handshaking problem when writing even I am not with anyone and even more when in front of people or anyone. This has been happening since i was in elementary up to the present.
I noticed one time when I was pretty drunk and had to write something that I felt very comfortable and very proud to write nicely in front of people.
I do not want to get drunk every time to get a good and nice handwriting.
I would be grateful if you could help me out on this. Many thanks Edgar

Hi,

Thanks for writing.

These symptoms could be due to benign causes like fatigue, stress and anxiety. However the possibility of essential tremors cannot be ruled out especially if you have a positive family history of tremors.
I would suggest you to get yourself clinically evaluated by your GP. If it is essential tremors or if they are getting uncontrollable you may need medications like beta blockers.
In the meantime do some self relaxation exercises like breathing exercises on a regular basis.

Take care!
