Question : what if anything should I do. Does a hole cause problems. My doctor said to go home and enjoy the rest of your life. Also9 it seems the tremors are getting worse. Are they connected somehow

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

The heart problem and tremors are not connected.

Essential tremors are known to worsen over time. You may increase the dose of propranolol.

If the hole in heart is small, then there is no need to go for surgery and you should not worry about it.

Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM
