Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to benign essential tremor, which is a hereditary benign type of tremor.

I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and some tests (a brain MRI study and thyroid hormone levels.)

Propranolol may help improve your situation.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
