Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
Hand tremor is a symptom of underlying issue and propranolol just masks it does not cure it.we need to cure it.
Tremor responding to propranolol makes it worth assessment for thyroid functions ass hyperthyroidism irrespective of the type is classic for such tremors.if you are nervous, anxious, sweat alot, has a pounding heart, have lost weight or have reduced the menstrual flow etc or any of them that will make the suspicion of deranged thyroid functions more likely. Get to an endocrinologist and let them take care of you.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
May the odds be ever in your favour.
