What Is The Treatment For Hand Tremors?
Hi I am 12 male I have temors in my hands and you can really see it when I hold the side of my ipad or a full cup. I am a bit worried that it could be epilepsy. I have already gone to a doctor about twitching but she said I go to bed to late and I get up to late and also not eating my greens. But my shakiness wasn t around then. So is this a serious thing. Thanks

Hi.
I had gone through your query.
Only shaking tremor can not suggest epilepsy.
Epilepsy has different symptomatically. Tremors has many differential diagnosis.
At age 12, Neurological work up is advisable it can be essential or extrapyramisal tremor.Diagnosis is not possible without examinations and investigations.
Tremor can result of anxiety also.
So consult neurologist for better evaluation and treatment.
Glad to help you further.
Thank you.
