What Could Shakes And Tremors In Hands With Weakness In Knees Indicate?
I have been getting the shakes/tremours in my hands over the last few weeks. At times I feel weak at the knees as though the strength has gone. the tremours are sporadic and I am 47 yo age..hands are fine at rest but start to shake when I try to pick up something as small as a glass. What do you think this may be and is there a treatment?

Hello, thanks for posting on HCM.
Tremors occurring when doing some action are called as ‘intentional tremors’. There are multiple reasons and causes for it.
You will need a detailed clinical neurological examination done by a neurologist and might also require a CT / MRI study of the brain.
I would advise you to consult a neurologist as early as possible.
I hope I have given satisfactory answer to your query, if you still have any more query kindly write back to me and I will be happy to help.
Thank you
