What Causes Tremors In The Hands After Receiving An Aranesp Shot?

My patient received an aranesp injection last Tuesday the 222nd. Now her hands are shaking. She she s been sick ever since. Immediately after the injection she felt light-headed and passed out in the lobby. Ever since then she s been sick and moaning in pain. And now her hands are beginning to shake more and more.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There is no scientific evidence base that Aranesp shot can cause tremors in the hands.
I think that the symptoms can be related to anxiety due to the injection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
