What Causes Weakness Along With Body Tremors?

I have been experiencing strange symptoms that I can t decide what it might be. I have discussed this with my pop and have had blood tests run but nothing is alarming also I am under the care of a doctor monitoring my thyroid only because they found nodules... So here is what is going on...on occasions, I will suddenly feel weak, start a mild shake that increases in intensity as time goes on. The only thing I can do at this time and what also clears me of all symptoms is to eat a little something. Any ideas?????

Hi,

Noted your history of feeling of sudden weakness, increasing shaking of body which settles on eating, Doctor monitoring the thyroid functions for nodules in thyroid.
All your history indicates that there is development of hypoglycemia that is reduced blood sugar that gets corrected on eating something.
Another reason can be stress and anxiety which settled the symptoms on eating wherein eating takes away your anxiety or stress.
I would advise you to get the blood sugar done, particularly when there are symptoms.
If it is so then take foods multiple times and drink sugar rich foods or drink beverages with sugar when in attack.
Alos get the Blood Insulin and other hormone levels again when in attack of symptoms.
Once a proper diagnosis is done then the management will be as per the cause found.

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

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
