Palpitations, hand tremors, and insomnia may be caused by multiple factors, mainly including the following aspects:
1. Physiological factors: Short-term occurrence of these symptoms may be physiological phenomena. For example, emotional excitement, excessive fatigue, or anxiety may lead to palpitations, hand tremors, and insomnia.
2. Heart diseases: Certain heart conditions, such as sinus tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, and atrial fibrillation, may cause palpitations and hand tremors, thereby affecting sleep.
3. Endocrine diseases: Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine disorder; excessive production of thyroid hormones can lead to symptoms such as palpitations, hand tremors, and insomnia.
4. Nervous system diseases: Neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and essential tremor may also cause hand tremors and palpitations, while simultaneously affecting sleep quality.
5. Mental disorders: Psychological conditions such as anxiety and depression often present with physical symptoms including palpitations, hand tremors, and insomnia.
6. Medication factors: Taking certain medications, such as antipsychotics, antidepressants, and antiepileptic drugs, may also result in side effects such as palpitations, hand tremors, and insomnia.
