Avatar n tn I posted a similiar question not long ago about tremors and trembling coz I get them a lot. I have thyroid problems, menopause, and sjogren's syndrome, but I'm not sure which causes the tremors. But I do no they are definately caused by these hormone disorders.
Avatar f tn A Thyroid problem can for sure cause tremors. Good luck.....
Avatar f tn Once I got on progesterone and got my levels up, the internal shaking and tremors completely stopped. I have talked to many other women and men who have had the same results once their hormone levels are under control. I am actually a 34 year-old woman and not menopausal yet but I do have other health issues that have caused my pituiatry not send out the right signals for correct hormone production. I have no more issues with the internal tremors though now that I am doing HRT.
5142668 tn?1364230745 I suffer from essential tremors and severe FMS,CFS. The tremors affect my hands head torso and at times the legs. ET has a rhythm to them and are more noticeable when you are reaching for something or trying to pick it up. I have been told the tremor and the fibro are not related but they both came on at about the same time in 2004 and have progressed. I take propranolol for the tremors,savella for the fibro along with numerous other meds to combat symptoms.Hope this gives you a little insight.
Avatar f tn Tremors could be associated with fatigue, stress, anxiety or a form of panic attack. Other possible causes of tremors could be overactive thyroid, Parkinsonism disease, alcohol use, certain medications, alkalosis, and low blood sugar. Sometimes previous injury may cause pinched nerve and may be a reason of tremor but this possibility remains low. Therefore, it is quite essential to thoroughly assess the all possibilities here with the help of a doctor. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn Hello, You seem to be having intention tremors i.e tremors of the hands and other body parts while doing some work.It is not present during rest. These tremors may result from damage to the cerebellum or its connections. Other causes are stress and anxiety,too much consumption of caffeine or alcohol,low blood sugar(hypoglycemia),autoimmune disease like multiple sclerosis,thyroid disorders and liver disease. Pls check out your emotional state and coffee or alcohol consumption.
Avatar f tn So, please post your most recent thyroid labs and include reference ranges (they vary lab to lab and have to come from your own lab report). Are weight gain and tremors your only symptoms?
Avatar f tn ) as hyperthyroidism can cause anxiety, tremors, insomnia, and a whole bunch of other symptoms. Thyroid disease is very easily treated, though. Good luck with school, try to get more sleep and give yourself more time to relax (i.e. read a book, rather than watching TV before bed), and see if your tremor still sticks around. Hopefully, you'll feel better soon!

Avatar m tn In addition, I have been taking half of a 5mg valium everynight and do not have the HORRIBLE morning panic attacks and tremors. Any suggestions? endocrinologist ? F TSH W/REFLEX TO FT4 0.96 (mIU/L) F T3, FREE 3.0 2.3-4.
Avatar n tn Did you ever find out what caused the tremors? I was diagnosed with thyroid issues and once I became hypothyroid they started wtih me too. I think it's my thyroid meds but interested to hear from you. If I do anything physical they seem to get worse, and when I first lay down at night they are strong and eventually go away. Hope you found an answer.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the responses. The tremors started last January. I've been on a low dose of synthroid for my thyroid for 20 years and was recently checked and was within normal range. I'm a young ;) 58 and have been in menopause for 5 years. Still have bouts of hot flashes - handle with over the counter remedies. Because of different reasons including problems with fibroids Inever wanted to do HRT.
Avatar f tn My symptoms are constant internal tremors, palpitations,rapid HR, fatique, weakness, twitching around the lips,arms and legs, joint pain, hair loss. Endo did place me on 13mcg of Tirosint, started it 2 days ago, concern that this is still causing palpitiations. I had left thyroid lobectomy 7 weeks ago. Trying my best to understand and educate myself on thyroid issues.
Avatar n tn I would recommend that your tremors should be evaluated for fatigue, stress, anxiety or a form of panic attack. Other possible causes of tremors could be overactive thyroid, Parkinsonism disease, alcohol use, certain medications, alkalosis, and low blood sugar. Sometimes previous injury may cause pinched nerve and may be a reason of tremor but this possibility remains low. Therefore, it is quite essential to thoroughly assess the all possibilities here with the help of a doctor.
Avatar f tn But i have also had internal tremors from metabolic acidosis (i was also breathing more than normal with this condition) and i currently have tremors on and off from hashitoxicosis - hyperthyroid flare ups with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (autoimmune hypothyroidism). My heart goes over 100bpm on and off and my blood pressure is erratic going from severe stage 3 hypertension to better than optimal.
Avatar f tn Hey there, when I was 20 I developed pressure urticaria, dry eyebrows, swollen knees, a small nodule on hip and right knee. Now at 25 I have been having hand tremors and foot sensations, fatigue, a mildly positive ANA, a few white spots on arms and legs the size of a pencil eraser (vitiligo maybe?), a ganglion cyst on my left wrist, and loss of hand dexterity. I have a rheumatologist appointment in 2I months. My mom has 4 auto immune illnesses. Also I am a male.
479494 tn?1208132009 I am a 22 year old female and experiencing resting tremors. They began in my left hand very mild and in the past two days have escalated to very noticeable and now a slight tremor in my right hand. They are primarily present when at rest or by my sides, but now have also begun to show when I try to write, or do such things as type or hold a cup (mildly). From what I've read they are a major sympptom of parkinsons, but is there any other reason that I could have these???
Avatar f tn My t3 level was low and she told me that is why i was getting tremors and joint pain. As soon as I started armour the tremors and joint pain went away. It starts to come back when I need a dosage increase. You might as dr to test your free t3..........conversion problems are common in women especially over 40.
Avatar f tn Please post your thyroid labs so we can assess your status. Include reference ranges as they vary lab to lab and have to come from your own lab report.
296738 tn?1235996403 s correct, calcium levels are important too..... ask for your vit D too. Low calcium and low potassium can be causes of Twitches and tremors.
Avatar m tn just after couple of days (still on 3 propranolols a day ) I started experiencing this severe internal tremors and palpitations again. I feel shaking and trembling internally, as if motor is running inside my body. When I sit cross leg I can see the other feet shaking, It's very weird and scary feeling and I have been experiencing all these from past 2 months now.
