Panic, weakness, and shaking hands, these are very easy to see in life. As far as gender is concerned, women tend to have these symptoms more easily than men because of their special physique. Especially after middle age, its frequency will be even higher.
The reason is that menopause is an unavoidable factor. Fluctuations in hormone levels can easily lead to palpitation, weakness, and tremor. After menopause, it will improve. But for most people, menopause is not the main cause. The real factor is probably motor disorders, metabolic abnormalities, or internal brain disorders. This is also the reason why women are more common than men.
Under normal circumstances, the causes of palpitation, hand tremor, and weakness are mainly found in the following situations:
1. Suffering from organic heart disease. Blood vessels are prone to accumulate a large amount of lipids, and excessive accumulation can easily lead to uneven blood supply. When arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia or hypoxia, there will be weakness and palpitation. If accompanied by tension at the same time, there will be states such as hand tremor or whole body muscle shaking.
2. Hyperthyroidism. Patients with hyperthyroidism may experience sympathetic nerve excitement due to excessive secretion of thyroid hormones. They may experience rapid heart rate, palpitation, weakness, hand tremor, and a feeling of fatigue.
3. Hypoglycemia reaction. Due to low blood sugar, patients with hypoglycemia will obviously become tired and weak with palpitation. When they are tense, they will be accompanied by tremor and hand shaking.
4. When you are overly excited. Excessive emotions can also cause tremor and palpitation.
5. Periodic paralysis. It is the sudden weakness of the large muscle groups that is caused by low potassium. At this time, there will also be a very weak feeling. When accompanied by tension, there will be palpitation, and even the whole body muscles will shake. Especially when low potassium is combined with arrhythmia, palpitations will be more obvious.
6. Anxiety disorders. Anxiety disorders are usually manifested mainly by nervousness, anxiety, irritability, etc. In addition, there may be symptoms of autonomic disorders such as hand tremor, palpitation, and sweating.
For women with special physique, there are two main reasons that women are more likely to have symptoms of palpitation, weakness, and tremor than men. One of the major reasons for this is anemia. Women lose a lot of iron during their monthly menstrual period, so women are more likely to suffer from anemia than men. Dieting to lose weight will lead to insufficient nutrition, which will lead to anemia symptoms.
Women with anemia have insufficient blood supply in all aspects of the body, so their skin tends to turn yellow and look pale. Since the blood also carries the functions of energy delivery and oxygen supply, women with severe anemia will have symptoms of hypoxia and energy deficiency such as weak limbs and mental drowsiness. When the mood fluctuates, the supply of blood and oxygen in the brain is further insufficient, leading to neurological disorders, and the hands will begin to shake uncontrollably.
And another major cause is hyperthyroidism, which is a large neck disease. Its typical characteristics are palpitation, weakness, and shaking hands. In terms of gender distribution, women are still the main affected population of this disease, and young women occupy a larger proportion.
Because women have worse self-regulation ability compared with men, thyroid problems are more likely to occur. Since the thyroid gland has the effect of balancing the body's hormone regulation, after hyperfunction, normal hormone secretion cannot be carried out, and the whole person will show some manifestations, such as: palpitation, tremor, weakness, and irritability.
In short, a person feels flustered and has no energy. The reason behind it is related to many factors. But as far as women are concerned, anemia and hyperthyroidism need to be paid more attention to. One is that the two are more likely to suffer from the disease, and the other is that the adverse effects on women in life and work will be greater. After discovering the problem, it is necessary to eliminate the hidden dangers inside, and truly make yourself healthy from the inside out.
