Hyperthyroidism

Hot, trembling hands are also found in a sickness called hyperthyroidism, which is not ‘just nerves’, although it looks very much like it, and which must be treated specifically. Do not persevere with hot, trembling hands unless you have the assurance of your doctor that you have not hyperthyroidism. Once given such assurance, accept it and do not waste time and energy worrying for fear the doctor may have made a mistake. If you cannot accept his assurance, seek a second opinion but do not inquire beyond that. Hyperthyroidism is usually not difficult to diagnose.
