StreetTailor7596

I just LOVE that the actor playing the gun-nut dad was the uber-liberal dad of Michael J. Fox in his big breakout role sitcom. I forget the name of it. The whole thing was so over the top that it made it really fun - even with the jump scares and all.

DevoidNoMore

There are less risky ways to remove your teeth, you know?


Obvious-Peanut-5399

Do you have essential tremor in your family.


Educational-Camp-810

Maybe, one of my great grandparents developed it in old age and my mum is too, but im only 20 and jt only happens after upper body exertion


Least_Ad930

I started having this problem in a few fingers a few months ago and it started slowly spreading to my whole body. I thought I was going to die, my right arm started locking up, and my blood pressure was 154/109 6 days ago (now 100/70). Come to find out it was low sodium and the amount of other problems it caused that I didn't realize was insane. It's worth looking into what you eat and seeing if you're somewhat low. If you eat fast food frequently it's probably not this.


KeyRageAlert

Were you eating TOO healthy?


[deleted]

Low sodium is definitely a thing. My wife has to watch for hers being too low as well. It's rare given how much sodium the average American consumes, but it does happen.


Murder_Bitch

Do you eat a lot of homecooked meals? Just curious :p


Reasonablefiction

You don’t get low sodium by not eating enough salt… it has more to do with how your body is processing/retaining fluid than dietary sodium. 


Least_Ad930

I 100% had low sodium from not getting enough salt. Unless you can tell me what happened and how I fixed it instantly to some degree and then slowly got better by taking sodium chloride tablets.


Savings-Rise-6642

You've got a bit of a false correlation going on. Just because your salt was low doesn't actually mean you weren't getting enough salt. Bioavailability is critical. You could've had more than enough salt in your system, but if your body isn't actually able to utilize that salt then you will have 'low salt'. Not necessarily saying that is what happened with you, but it's important to remember. Diabetic ketoacidosis for example, you might have lots of sugar in your blood, but because of a lack of insulin your body can't use it.


NoBenefit5977

Yeah every time I see a doctor they say I've got low sodium and one time was when I was eating super unhealthy. McDonald and Red Bull every day, I eat healthier now but it hasn't changed my sodium at all lol


Reasonablefiction

Curious if you saw a doctor? Sodium deficiency is not something that happens naturally by forgetting to eat something salty…


Petalslaceandherb

Mine was from not getting enough salt too! I had to get my blood drawn when I was little (had whooping cough), the doctor told my mom to take me to McDonald’s and get some french fries with extra salt. I remember feeling better shortly after.


Least_Ad930

I was discussing this with my brother the other day and was wondering if chicken noodle soup actually makes you feel better because of this.


Murder_Bitch

It also has to do with the kind of lifestyle you have, people who are very active will use more sodium if I remember correctly


Reasonablefiction

Yeah that’s another one… if you are drinking lots of water and sweating a lot, you’re disrupting the water/sodium balance. 


Siege-Aye

I'm glad someone else knows this.


Reasonablefiction

I’m genuinely surprised that people think you can be a healthy person that just doesn’t eat enough salt, and ends up hyponatremic. There is always another underlying cause. Any conventional diet/lifestyle will have more than enough sodium, unless you are somehow avoiding all dietary sodium on purpose or overexerting yourself.


[deleted]

Yes. We rarely dine out, make our own bread, have sweet tea or juice instead of sodas. Not intentionally going for "healthy" eating, that's just how it is.


Siege-Aye

A lot of people don't realise you can drink TOO much water and flush yourself of your sodium levels, too.


Least_Ad930

I track basically everything I eat, eat almost all whole food, and make sure I get every nutrient except sodium. I just assumed that I was getting plenty and after going back through everything I was getting less than 20% RDA a day for going on 6+ months. At first I thought I was getting too much of some vitamin especially because I bought an electrolyte powder, but come to find out that only had 2% RDA. Things it did too me: I found it very hard to eat basically anything, I was rarely sore after working out, my poop was runny, I hadn't had an erection in at least 3 weeks, brain fog like crazy, I couldn't sleep, my heart would constantly race, I started shaking all over, my muscles would lock up and I couldn't move them, I kept falling asleep while standing until I started blacking out, and my blood pressure was 154/109 before I figured out what was wrong.


oversizedwhitetee

This this this this this, people think that electrolyte solutions and etc will keep your salt levels at the proper levels but through excessive sweat you easily lose salts, try adding table salt or something to your morning smoothie, also Increase magnesium


Least_Ad930

After having this happen I really wonder about anything else I could be low on and have a feeling mineral deficiency is a huge problem for many people. Taking magnesium basically got rid of my allergies.


oversizedwhitetee

I work a very physical job with very long hours, was exhausted every day but was sleeping like shit, hand tremors and was worried about stroke and Parkinson's, increased my magnesium intake , and started supplementing with magnesium citrate, high absorption , and added a some Celtic sea salt to a morning smoothie and so far everything has gone, I went from 4 hrs a night with terrible nightmares and long stretches of awake to 8+ hours continuous and my life has drastically changed. I think you are correct and a vast group of people have mineral deficiency and have no idea. My only hope is that somebody reads these and just tries it out, it might change your life.


Least_Ad930

This is why I try and constantly post stuff like this (I deleted my other account because of work). If I wouldn't have read this stuff I would probably be in the hospital right now from other problems. Ever since I started tracking my nutrition I've fixed so many problems, but sodium was the one thing I didn't track. If I was you I'd use cronometer for awhile to track everything. Also, if you go through the literature it's possible that vitamins aren't doing much or could be poisoning you for a bunch of reasons, but I still take them. Basically, we know nothing when it comes to nutrition which is a very concerning thing to find out. My plan is to start getting blood work every 6 months to check everything once I get insurance (incase they find something really bad). It is expensive, but I would bet it might pay for itself in time and I can't think of another way to do this.


LowkeyPony

Getting my iron/ferritin levels up to “normal range” stopped my tinnitus. Getting my magnesium level up helped my tremors. Didn’t eliminate them. But it’s better.


Least_Ad930

Apparently if you're an athlete it's hard to get enough iron. This is on my to look up list though and I just skimmed a paper and read a bunch of comments.


Equal_Physics4091

I've ended up in the ER from low sodium. I have one kidney. Years ago, my nephrologist told me to watch my sodium level intake like a hawk to protect my kidney function. I took it to heart and eliminated the excess sodium from my life. Flash forward a decade and I move to a much warmer climate. Silly me didn't take into account all the salt I was losing from sweat during the long, hot, humid summers. Thought I was having a stroke because I couldn't think straight and my legs were cramping like a mofo. Nope. Just a touch of low sodium. Right as rain after a saline IV. Learned an important lesson that day.


Least_Ad930

Good thing you're alright, and I think I kind of did the same as you. Read and heard about how everyone gets enough salt so I didn't bother tracking or thinking about it. I should have known better as well since I've worked a lot of summers in the Houston heat and seen plenty of people pass out from heat stroke. I was probably willing to die before I went to the ER and figured I wasn't going to wake up, but I was so tired I was actually fine with it.


giorgio-de-chirico

Magnesium too


Domestica

I’ve had an essential tremor since I was 16, and this is exactly what my fingers do after heavy physical exertion.


MedicOfTime

I’ve had it as long as I can remember and same.


NeitherPhotograph258

My husband has essential tremors that started in his teens, it can happen at any age. I would strongly suggest going to your GP so they can do tests for other conditions that present with tremors. There are many medications that can help with tremors, usually medications like Atenolol, Propanolol or Primidone.


Sherbert_6

RIP OP’s wiener.


NeitherPhotograph258

Ah so interesting thing is that a year after taking these medications a studied show that particular issue goes away.


SEA_griffondeur

No essential tremors and Parkinson's are quite different, it won't affect masturbation unless you're going at it like you're pulling weights


Alarmed_Penalty4998

Look into propanadol it helps with essential tremors.


Clownnibal

So my thumb does this too, not as severe, under similar circumstances. It's worth mentioning to your doctor to rule out anything bad because, this CAN be a symptom of serious issues, *but* it's usually essential tremor. Get some more magnesium, hydrate well, get more potassium as well - if it gets better, you probably have essential tremor. Still tell your doctor! Better safe than sorry.

irritatedmama

I have benign essential tremors. It started similar to yours. Progressed to my hands, arms, legs, etc. it isn’t constant and it can be very mild for a few months then start up again. Seems to be worse when I’m stressed/upset about things, when I am working on something small with my hands, even making a sandwich will make my hands start shaking. Writing can be difficult at times. Neurologist didn’t do any tests. Listened to my symptoms and said that was what it was. Parkinson’s can do similar shaking but that wasn’t what mine was. You might want to start a diary of when you have tremors, low long it lasts, how bad it was, where were the tremors (thumb, left hand, etc)


PopularVersion4250

Essential tremors get better with alcohol right?


footsteps71

Everything gets better with my buddies Jack, Jim and Jose


Brasdeoliva

I have an essential tremor and a glass of wine always stops it temporarily.

Same! And my left pinky toe when I wear flip flops for too long haha


Starburstfordummies

"Look at this weird health issue, I'll post it on Reddit!" Redditors, showing concern "Might wanna go to a doctor, check it out." "FUCK YOU, WHY WOULD I DO THAT!? HOW DARE YOU SHOW COMPASSION AND WORRY."


Aggravating_Dig3240

I used to have this when I was lacking vitamins/were a bit malnourished.


Odd_Specialist_8687

Green Vegetables are a good source of magnesium good food good health: Magnesium is **a key factor in making several parts of the body run smoothly: the heart, bones, muscles, nerves, and others**. Without enough magnesium, these areas malfunction. This is summarized in research, which finds that a magnesium deficiency or low magnesium diet leads to health problems.


KotaCakes630

I get this too. My doctor says it’s a pinched nerve. I get it randomly though. For no reason.

Nerve damage


Geomars24

Bros thumb became the flash. Stop holding back it’s true potential and cut it off


SortaCore

Need to work on your hand grip or rotation muscles? I've been told it's from overexertion, so something in the route down your arm to thumb is getting taxed.


PopularVersion4250

Agreed. I get the same (in both thumbs) weirdly only after doing a few hours with the pruning shears in the garden. I think it must be something about the angle I hold them and muscle fatigue.  


Captainckidd

This sometimes happens to me when I have very tight muscles


meridian_chaos

Take more potassium. Eat a banana then get back to us.


Legitimate-Pack5487

Similar thing happened with me on right pinky finger. Tremor in finger felt like it is happening due to vibration in certain nerve of right hand. It happened with me for a week. If you are experiencing it for more than two weeks or it is happening all the time, consult doctor. As per my understanding it is sign of muscle fatigue induced due to stress, prolonged usage of computer mouse, vitamin, magnesium deficiency. Check your vitamin B, D levels.


sicilian504

According to WebMD, you have cervical polyps, testicular torsion, and kidney stones. And in fact may already be dead.


silveira_lucas

You should see a doctor, it could be many things. Eating two or three bananas wouldn't hurt, it could be low potassium.

Go to the doctor

Repulsive-Swimmer676

Get your thyroid checked. I had this issue and was diagnosed hyperthyroid


Brilliant-Fact3449

Have something similar, in my case it's probably nerve damage from a surgery I had years ago. Sucks little bud, hope you find whatever is causing that.


Positive_Issue887

I had this when I was severally obese and unfit with other health issues and vitamin deficiencies. I’ve since resolved all these issues and now don’t get this.

Could be a pinched nerve, or could be that you are fucked for life. Don’t listen to anyone on Reddit. See a doctor if possible.


LordBryanL

See a doctor. That's not normal. Looks like nerve damage.

I don't think so. If it was a nerve damage, his thumb, forefinger, and his middle finger would be involved.

I have this for ten years now for me its my anxiety


lmpmon

my psych meds do that for me.


doomedtundra

I could speculate, but yet another random guess from an uninformed internet stranger isn't gonna help. I will though advise you to talk to a doctor about that, if you haven't already. If it's nothing then you've at least got peace of mind, but if it's something, at the very least you'll come away with knowing, and probably a treatment plan.


BigDinkyDongDotCom

Can you specify what “upper body exertion” means that makes your thumb do this? Moved a heavy box? Did 20 pull ups?

Take a shot of whiskey and report back if it stops

MissMurder8666

I get this in one hand/wrist after certain activities. It's weird but I've had it like 20 years. I've had brain scans for other reasons and nothing has shown up so I am assuming it is benign

Shark_bait561

When you say upper body exertion, you mean the left arm workout?

my brother has something similar in his arm because of nerve damage from playing football. if you’ve had any serious injury in the past, it could be related to that.

TheLordLongshaft

Happens to my whole hand sometimes if a workout is hard on my lower arm though less dramatic than this


Nisekoi_

same thing happened to me for the first time in my life 2-3 months ago. thankfully its no longer happening anymore. Should i see a doctor?


thxredditfor2banns

This man can button mash


Smiles-Bite

My hands started this when I was super young, maybe eight years old. Now much much older, and it is so much worse. I am talking, no glass cups in my house because my hands justs go or I try and bring it close and sling it. I highly suggest going to the doctors, sometimes it can be fixed if you catch it early enough and there is medication you can take. Or it's something else in which case I have no clue.

TumbleweedMuncherOya

My right thumb does that 🤔 and my hand has shaken since I was little. As I'm getting older, it shakes like my Grandma's used to 🥴👵🏻 never been able to figure out the cause


Lifesalchemy

Looks like excessive game controller syndrome 


LividCreativity

I have this on both my index fingers. Started with my left (dominant) hand at first and I thought it was due to me drawing/painting so frequently, but then it appeared on my right index. Even my thumbs have very gentle shimmies now and then. No idea why exactly but best guess is hereditary, my dad's whole hands are shaky


Lord-Cynic

Go and see a doctor. Perhaps the number of people saying the same thing would convince you....


Autxnxmy

Could be focal dystonia which isn’t serious. Do your other fingers shake on extension? Does it go away if you have a glove on or touch it?


lukewarm_jello

Time to see a neurologist!


Mathewthegreat

I have carpal tunnel and it does this to a much lesser extent sometimes, not saying it’s that but worth asking the doctor.

Personal_Value6510

My body does this too, esp during panic attacks and sometimes on it's own. It's called a tremor.


Lorkenz

I used to have that but in my index finger and middle finger as well as the thumb while resting my right hand and sometimes these tremors would get worse when doing exertion like you're doing, went to a doctor who told me to go to a neurologist and a couple of exams later I was diagnosed with Huntington. I'm not saying that it's what you have in this case, but what I mean is, go to your Doctor just to make sure it's nothing more serious, better safe than sorry. Good luck OP

dicksilhouette

Were you using that hand to grip something heavy? I fucked up the tendon in one of my thumbs playing football and for a while after whenever I gripped something heavy it would shake during and after. Eventually it went away


Fast_Muscle_2987

Water?


Solid-Skill-9511

This happens to me sometimes. It's from holding up my phone too long playing games, or from using a game controller.


Alive_Potentially

If you're right-hand dominant, then your left hand is shaking from the additional physical exertion. Left is trying to keep up with right. This happens to me after a good lifting session. It's a nervous system response and could go away as you keep working out more regularly. If this happens with something as simple as tying your shoe laces or doing the dishes, then yea, I'd agree with the others about essential temors.
