Whole-body tremors upon waking up in the morning may be caused by various factors, mainly including:
1. Environmental factors: If the sleeping environment is too cold and proper warmth retention measures are not taken, body tremors caused by cold exposure may occur. In such cases, appropriate warming measures and adjusting indoor temperature can relieve the symptoms.
2. Hypoglycemia: Insufficient food intake the previous day or excessive use of hypoglycemic medications may lead to morning hypoglycemia, causing whole-body tremors and chills. In this case, consuming high-sugar foods such as sugared water or biscuits can effectively alleviate symptoms.
3. Hypotension: Morning hypotension may cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, leading to dizziness and whole-body tremors. In such cases, timely medical attention is required, and blood pressure elevation treatment should be administered under medical guidance.
4. Hyperthyroidism: Abnormal excessive secretion of thyroid hormones increases the body's metabolic rate, possibly causing symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, and body tremors. Medication treatment under a doctor's guidance is necessary.
5. Other factors: Conditions such as Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, emotional fluctuations, and excessive fatigue may also cause whole-body tremors upon waking. In such cases, treatment should be directed according to the specific underlying cause.
