Can a child's hand tremors also be caused by hyperthyroidism?

Speaking of hyperthyroidism, I believe many people are very afraid. The most obvious symptom of hyperthyroidism is involuntary shaking of the hands. Some children also experience this condition. Many parents will wonder whether their children also have this disease. So, is it true that children's hand shaking is also a disease of hyperthyroidism? Let's see if this is the case. Can children's hand shaking also be hyperthyroidism?

First, can children’s hand tremors also be caused by hyperthyroidism? Children’s hand tremors can be divided into physiological and pathological. Physiological hand tremors have small amplitudes and fast speeds, and often occur when the hand is stationary. They are small, fast, and irregular tremors. Physiological hand tremors often occur when one is under mental stress, fear, emotional excitement, severe pain, or extreme fatigue. Once the above causes of hand tremors are eliminated, the hand tremors will also disappear. Pathological hand tremor, medically known as "tremor", refers to involuntary tremors of the hands, which are often permanent. There are two main types of hand tremors: static hand tremors and dynamic hand tremors. Among them, static hand tremor is the hand tremor that occurs when the muscles are completely relaxed, that is, in a quiet state.

Second, convulsions can be divided into generalized tonic convulsions and localized convulsions. Generalized tonic convulsions. The muscles of the whole body are rigid and twitching, in opisthotonos (the head is tilted back and the whole body is bent backward in a bow shape), the eyes are rolled up or staring, and the patient is unconscious. Localized convulsions. Only local muscles twitch, such as twitching of only one side of the limbs, or twitching of facial muscles, or twitching of fingers or toes, or eye movements, nystagmus, blinking, staring, etc. Most are unconscious. The above convulsions can last for a few seconds or several minutes, and in severe cases can last for several minutes or recur repeatedly. Convulsions lasting more than 30 minutes are called persistent state convulsions.

Can a child's hand tremors be caused by hyperthyroidism? Tremors are caused by the incomplete development of the newborn's nervous system. The excitement caused by stimulation can easily be "generalized", manifested as opening the newborn's blanket or hearing loud noises, strong light, vibrations, or changes in his body position, which can cause the child to tremble. There will be coarse tremor-like spontaneous movements, or slow, irregular, twitching movements of the hands and feet, and sometimes even shaking of the ankles, knees, and chin. These unconscious and uncoordinated movements are usually called startle. But if the baby really has this phenomenon. Pay attention to your baby in time, because sometimes the baby may be frightened or very scared. Therefore, mothers should always pay attention to their babies. If they find that their babies’ conditions are very serious, they should take their babies for examination in time.
