My hands have been shaking since I was little and I've been to the doctors and they couldn't come up with an answer. I had a heart murmur so would this make any difference? It gets a lot worse when I'm really nervous and I think it makes my writing a bit wobbly. Any ideas?

You might have a familial tremor, which is usually a relatively benign condition, affecting movement or voice quality but seldom having any other effects. It involves a rhythmic, moderately rapid tremor (shaking) of voluntary muscles.
Purposeful movements may make the tremors worse. There may be difficulty holding or using small objects (such as eating or writing utensils). Emotional stress may also increase the tremors.
Over time, the tremors may affect the hands, arms, head, voice box (larynx), eyelids, or other muscles, but they rarely involve the legs or feet. In children, these tremors are usually limited to the hands and rarely require treatment.
The exact cause is unknown, but the fact that it is inherited suggests a genetic cause. It is usually dominant, which means about 50% of an affected person's children will be affected.
If you inherit one copy of the gene from either parent, you will have the disorder.

Don't worry clare, heart murmurs don't make your hands shake, & I dont think you're old enough for parkinsons, this rarely attacks younger people.
Are you a nervous person? If so it could just be your nerves. We all deal with things differently,some people have sweaty palms which gets worse when they are really nervous as does your shaking.
Can you control it if you concentrate? if so hynotherapy might work.
It may be worth trying alternative medicine (no I dont mean smoking weed!) if your GP cant help or ask for a 2nd opinion.

It ain't parkinsons! It ain't dt's either. It's a condition called slight tremors. or medium tremors. Ain't nothing to worry about. Just one of those things.
I have it! Sometimes its bad, sometimes its not so bad. I can thread a needle, sew, do most normal things, but can not hold a mug/cup/glass of liquid without using both hands.
My doctor prescribes me with beta blockers! They alledgedly slow down your heart thus making you shake less. They don't always work and i still shake, but i imagine i may shake even worse if i did stop taking them!
When or if people point it out to me, sometimes i shake more. otherwise i just tell people i'm special!!

if you have had it a long time and the doctors aren't concerned I would say you don't have anything to worry about.
My father has had shaky hands for as long as I can remember, and he is 67 now. He has been to the doctor about it and they have said what it is (can't remember at the moment, but will update when I speak to the old man).
They told him it wasn't anything to worry about.
His tends to get worse when he needs something to eat.
It isn't, as far as we are aware, hereditary.

Ask your doctor about an exercise routine. Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, may reduce neuropathy pain, improve your muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.

heart murmur could be one of the causes.
ms, parkinson's, you could also be anemic.
ask your doc to check for these problems on your next visit.
