Shaky Voice
Another symptom that can accompany hand tremors is a shaky voice. In many cases, as people grow older, developing a shaky voice can be completely normal and not associated with any conditions. However, if a hand tremor and shaky voice develop at the same time, it may be a sign of essential tremor.3National Institute Of Neurological Disorders And Stroke. ‘Tremor Fact Sheet | National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.’ National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, 2021, www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/Patient-Caregiver-Education/Fact-Sheets/Tremor-Fact-Sheet
Certain conditions, such as essential tremor, can affect the voice box as well as the hands, which may be why some people experience a shaky voice along with hand tremors.3National Institute Of Neurological Disorders And Stroke. ‘Tremor Fact Sheet | National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.’ National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, 2021, www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/Patient-Caregiver-Education/Fact-Sheets/Tremor-Fact-Sheet
