Caffeine is a stimulant for the nervous system. It is incredibly common. Sources of caffeine include coffee, black tea, energy drinks, and even chocolate. There are also caffeine supplements available with other vitamin supplements at pharmacies. Experts indicate that most healthy adults can consume up to four hundred milligrams of caffeine safely each day. This is roughly equal to four cups of regular coffee. However, the source matters, since energy drinks contain much more caffeine than coffee. Espresso also has more caffeine than regular coffee.

Unfortunately, many individuals drink too much caffeine. When this happens, their nervous system is overstimulated, which is what triggers hand tremors. Thankfully, the treatment for this is simple. Individuals who drink significant amounts of caffeine and deal with hand tremors must reduce their consumption. Doing so gradually is the best course of action to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
