In daily life, we may encounter a situation where we are flustered and our hands are shaking when we are hungry. This symptom often leaves people confused and uneasy, not knowing what is causing it. In fact, this symptom may be related to three major diseases, namely hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, and anxiety.
1. Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia is when the concentration of glucose in the blood is too low. When we go without food for a long time or have an unbalanced diet, blood sugar levels may drop. Hypoglycemia can cause insufficient energy supply to the brain, which can cause a range of symptoms, including palpitations and hand tremors.
When we feel hungry, our body releases a hormone called insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. However, if too much or too little insulin is secreted, it can cause abnormal blood sugar levels, which can lead to hypoglycemia.
2. Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid gland that leads to excessive production of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones are one of the key hormones that regulate metabolism, and when thyroid hormones are secreted excessively, they accelerate the metabolic process, resulting in excessive energy consumption.
In this case, the human body will experience symptoms such as increased appetite, weight loss, palpitation, and hand tremors. Therefore, panic and hand tremors when hungry may be one of the manifestations of hyperthyroidism.
3. Anxiety disorders
Anxiety disorder is a common mental illness in which sufferers often feel nervous, restless, and fearful. The body of a person with an anxiety disorder is in a constant state of stress, causing the nervous system to become overexcited.
This state of excitement can cause symptoms such as palpitations and hand tremors. Anxiety may intensify when the patient feels hungry, leading to panic and shaky hands when hungry.
IV. Conclusions
Panic and hand tremors when hungry may be associated with hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, and anxiety. Hypoglycemia is due to insufficient energy supply to the brain due to low blood sugar levels, hyperthyroidism is due to hyperthyroidism leading to rapid energy expenditure, and anxiety disorders are due to a constant state of stress that causes the nervous system to be overexcited.
If you often experience this symptom, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time for relevant examinations and diagnoses to determine the specific ** and take the corresponding ** measures. At the same time, maintaining a good diet Xi habits and mental health are also important measures to prevent these diseases.
