What Causes Tremors And Numbness In The Hands?

I m 19 years old and I recently started to experience trembling in both hands. It started with a tremor in my left thumb only when I extend it outward. Then it started in the same way in my other thumb and my hands feel numb. I type a lot and I use the computer freuqently. What is this likely to be?

Hello,

I would suggest you do a blood test and also thyroid hormones.

Sometimes hypoglycemia or hyperthyroidism gives tremor in limbs.

Also, don't overuse caffeine or alcohol.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
