Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Yes you are right in saying that you have tromors or shivering of hands and increased heart beat.The reason is you are taking a combination of Formeterol+Budesonide where formeterol is a bronchodilator and budesonide is a steroid.The problem you have is due to Formeterol and the common side effects are headache;tremors;fu like symptoms;dizziness;palpitations;increase in heart and pulse rate;nausea;muscle cramps etc.Please consult your doctor and he may either reduce the dose or shift to some other medicine.
Thanks
