Not too sure, is this 24/7 sleeping, walking, eating, talking, sitting and reading? Shaking as a small tic/tremor or full on shake - eyes rolling?

You really need a medic to diagnose this. Make an appointment.

I have some head shaking because of essential tremor. It's worth visiting their website and Facebook page, but it will take a doctor to make a precise diagnosis. Does anyone else in your family have a hand, head or voice tremor?

My head shakes and I also have a neck pain.I went to my gp but he doesn't think it's essential tremors and the reason why he said that was because my hands don't shake. Do you know if this is true? Where do you have the tremor? No one in my family has tremors. It is embarrassing and painful

Pirate185, Have just come across the head shake. Mine started years ago following 2 episodes of chest pain years ago, went into hosp with heavy chest discomfort...sent home next day in spite of nurse ignoring left calf pain. Head tremor ignored, put up with it since, but now get irregular jaw movement...not pleasant. Injured foot following fall in hosp Jan 2013 still getting problems, twisted when fell so obvious ligament, tendon problem. Seems little can be done after all this time apart from builing up shoes to try and level them. Can understand what its like for you. I rely on tramadol which have been able to decrease a lot over the months. Hard for drs to understand or anyone. No use taking loads tabs as tramadol allows me to manage discomfort. Much older than you.

asborne hi I was at the Pain Clinic last week and mentioned about the head shakes together with memory loss ie letting the dog out and forgetting to let him in ,if it gets any worse I have to see my doctor. However on a possitive side I am going to be on the Transdermal Bupernorphine Patch (Bu Trans) in just over a week now. "Manage the discomfort" I like it . Hope this is a good night for you . Sam.
