I'm really concerned because my hands seem to shake a lot, especially when I raise them or even when I'm just trying to drink some water. Could this be a sign of weakness or is there something else going on? What should I do about it?

Shaking hands (tremors) can be due to various causes, including weakness, stress, or even essential tremors. It's best to see a doctor to rule out issues like vitamin deficiencies, thyroid problems, or neurological conditions. Don't worry; many causes are treatable!
