why am i shaking

Shaking can be caused by a variety of factors, and the specific reason depends on the context and accompanying symptoms. Common causes include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), anxiety or stress, dehydration, too much caffeine, lack of sleep, overexertion, certain medications, and underlying medical conditions such as thyroid disorders, Parkinson’s disease, or essential tremor. Shaking can also result from the body's response to cold or fever. If the shaking is sudden and accompanied by other symptoms like dizziness, confusion, rapid heartbeat, or weakness, it may indicate a condition needing medical attention. If shaking persists or interferes with daily activities, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
