hi XXXXXX
thank you for posting your query on healthcare magic
There are few things which i would like to know which are not mentioned in your query
Is nature of tremor that you are having at rest or at movement as it is not very clear from your post which says after tia are you referring to transient ischemic attack ?
Do you have any other medical history of conditions like Parkinsons's disease , or any systemic disorder like multiple sclerosis or thyroid disorder.
Ill like to tell you from what information is available that every person has a small, sometimes undetectable tremor. Fatigue, stress, thought of anger or fear, caffeine, and smoking can make these tremors more prominent. Hand tremor can occur at any age but most commonly occurs in middle-aged and older men and women.

Any type of hand tremor, even if it is for short span, needs to be evaluated by your physician or neurologist. Hand tremor can be due to serious, ongoing diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis. In particular, a hand tremor on one side of the body can be indicative of brain damage from a tumor or stroke or TIA.
I would recommend you to see a physician or neurologist and get yourself examined so that the cause of the tremor can be treated accordingly
I hope i have answered your query and if you have any further doubts feel free to post again
God Bless

Dear XXXXXXX thanks for your post again .
Tremors can sometimes be very disturbing which is very understandable and you have great courage and spirit that you are fighting against the pathology.The treatment of tremors cannot be started without examining you in person and identifying the cause of tremors as the treatment of tremor depends largely on its severity and underlying cause of it.
There are several alternative which your treating doctor or neurologist can start once you emphasize on this tremor problem you are facing .I am mentioning a few which can be considered after they give you a prescription after ruling out the contraindications in your case .
Some drugs like beta blockers , antiseizure drugs , benzodiazipine class of drugs , and few anti parkinsons drugs have been used succesfully for the same.Another treatment that is being done is Botulinum injections being given locally to decrease the muscular overstimulation.Recent development of XXXXXXX brain stimulation is also very useful if your treating doctor feels its appropriate for you in which the patient activates a surgically implanted generator using a hand-held magnet. The magnet delivers an electronic pulse to the brain that blocks the signals which trigger tremor.these above options can be considered by the neurologist or treating doctor
I hope i have answered to all your queries .If you do have any further doubts ill be happy to help you ,If you donot have any further queries kindly accept my answer.
God Bless
