What Causes Shaking Of Hands When Excited?

My son Nicholas has always done this thing where his hands shake. It did seem to be whenever he was excited about something but I am beginning to feel like it maybe something is wrong. I did speak to his pediatrician about it and he told me not to worry. Of course I am though and mostly because he is now 10 months and still does it. If it were his undeveloped nervous system wouldnt it of subsided by now? It is not his legs or feet or anything else....just his hands.

Hello,

If there were no issues during your pregnancy period and during delivery or one month after delivery then there are very less chances to worry about the presence of such tremors or looking for chances of epilepsy.

I can understand that some time it is difficult. To allay your fears you may consult to a pediatric neurologist. Although, I want to assure you that such tremors are very normal during excitement in an infant.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
