What Causes Body Tremors While On BP Medication?

I feel like I have a slight tremor that is not painful that radiates my whole body. It is more noticeable when lying down. Sometimes it is not noticeable at all. I take a blood pressure medicine for a slightly elevated blood pressure avg 140/86 that I check every few days. I am 59 and not overweight, fairly active and busy at a construction project daily.
