What Gives A Feeling That The Head And Hands Are Shaking?

Hi there, I have been feeling like my hands and head are shaking, although it is not visible. I also feel like my control of my hands is reduced. I have had binge eating disorder for 20 years and have noticed it gets worse after I have binged (normally salty biscuits, sweet biscuits and coke). My maternal grandmother had multiple sclerosis. A few months ago I was having days where I felt like my arms were heavy and it was hard to type, but this hasn t occurred recently. I am a 35 year old mum with a healthy BMI, I am physically active, don t smoke or drink, and have recently started on escitalopram 10mg for depression and anxiety. I take vitamin b12 and super b complex daily, and kelp twice a week (as I eat mostly a vegan diet). Thank you for your time :)

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The shaking of hands could possibly be associated with illusion. There are enough reasosn for that in your description itself. You are worried about the past eating disorder, worries about losing control of your hands, has anxiety disorder and depression.

Another possible cause could be neurology problem like writers wrist. Do consult a neurologist if need be on the advice of your psychiatrist.
