Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern, tremors in hands at this age could occur due to some nutritional deficiency, or due to some medical issue or some times even due to anxiety.

Vitamin B12 deficiency, Iron deficiency anaemia may present with tremors in hands and weakness. Hyperthyroidism may also present with hand tremors. Get her blood tests done to rule out these medical conditions.

Such tremors can occur due to anxiety. In anxiety individuals may develop tremors in hands, sweating, palpitations etc symptoms. She is more emotional than usual and this also strengthens anxiety as possibility. Unexplained tremors can occur due to some seizure discharge in brain also.

I would advise you to take her to a neuropsychiatrist to rule out these condition and to make proper diagnosis.

Thanks, hope this helps you. Take care
