Tremors after stress,is it psychogenic movement disorder?
 

Hi, I've had tremors for 16 years. They always appear after I'm thinking because having a psychiatric illness I think too much and this stresses me. I've learned to think less and now tremors are less frequent,however if I put a paper on my hand I notice a small tremor. So I guess some tremor is now present 24/7 inside my body. I have a question, does it reduce life expectancy? Thanks.

Hello Sound8 and welcome to NeuroTalk :)

It's very common for, in the general population, for stress or anxiety to cause shaking/tremors.

Tremors can be caused by some medical conditions. Have you ever discussed your tremors with your Physician?

Some medications can cause tremors. If you are on any medications you may want to check if shaking is a side effect. Medline is a good source to check medication side effects: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/...formation.html If you find a medication has shaking as a side effect please discuss your tremors with your prescribing Physician for the best advice.
