Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a first year BDS student. I have tremors in my hands whenever I apply force or hold an object with some pressure. I want to become an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or orthodontics. Can I become a dentist despite these tremors? Can the tremors be reduced?

Answered by Dr. Nida Shahab

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There are many causes for tremors, during student life it is very common because of anxiety and tension. It can also be due to abnormal thyroid level or hypoglycemia. First of all, try to reduce your anxiety or tension and get a proper medical checkup including, ECG (electrocardiogram), thyroid profile and complete blood test and follow the treatment afterward. You are most welcome to query further. Take care.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
