See neurologist: If you are receiving a drug for tremor, then you already saw your GP. The symptoms could be caused by several things ranging from  anxiety, illicit drug use, to neurological causes e.g brain disease, tumor.  Try NOT to self diagnose! You require a neurological work up. Ask your doc for a referral to a neurologist and an MRI brain, to search for causes. Good luck

Accepted Answer

Depends: It is not uncommon to have a very mild tremor after a strenuous workout. However, if your hands are getting tired quickly and/or if tremor just arises, you should have it examined by a physician.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Very concerning: You should notify your doctor of these symptoms at least by phone right away given the upcoming holiday, so that next steps can be agreed upon. The side effects you note are not uncommon but should not be ignored. As with many medications the list of side effects is extensive and some side effects are more serious than others. The urination change and muscle weakness need to be addressed quickly.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Need workup: Your symptoms too nonspecific to give you a firm diagnosis in 400 characters or less. You should see your doctor for a full workup including thyroid analysis, metabolic survey, &amp; other testing as appropriate depending upon what's found.  Good luck.  Try keeping track of the TREMORS as to whether they are more prominent with activity or at rest and if weakness comes and goes or constantly there.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

What's under hood?: Sounds like your car engine could use a tune up! I'd recommend seeing a primary care physician who can start the process by finding out when each problem began to discover its root cause (if possible). Labs &amp; other studies will likely be needed. Only then, can good advice be given on lifestyle changes or medications that will get you singin' and dancin again!  Good luck.
