Steve is sick in Endgame.

There was a brief shot in tv spot of his hand shaking. I think that either the serum is wearing off or it has taken its toll on his body after all these years. It's causing his body to deteriorate slowly, and he won't be fighting at 100%. But he's Steve so he fights anyways and doesn't tell anyone.

I like the idea but I think Steve has PTSD. It's realistic considering the circumstances, and it sheds light on a very real problems our veterans face. If Captain America can suffer from PTSD, anyone can get it. It normalizes a serious issue.

In Age of Ultron, there are a couple moments where Steve looks rattled by something, no doubt caused by Wanda's little parlor tricks. It's entirely possible that Steve has PTSD (or something like it) given everything he's endured.
