Posted on Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Brief Answer: Please specify your query Detailed Answer: Hi there. I have read your query. You are mentioning that you are having anxiety, tremors and redness. That i alone is not sufficient. You have here not specifically mentioned what doubt you wantb to get cleared. First you must answer a few queries 1. Are you an alcoholic? 2. Are you known case of hyperthyroidism ? The other case that immediately comes to mind is if your glucose levels were too low. Was there physical and mental exhaustion? Or there has been exposure to heavy metals ? Or too much caffeine is consumed by you . Beside these symptoms are there any other associated weakness of the hand and feet ? To rule this out refer to neurologist who would perform certain tests such as extending the arm and keep a paper on the hands to notice the tremors. Medicine such as inderal ,neorotin etc are prescribed. You might have to take psychiatric consult to rule out the behavioural cause . So don’t wait. Go to the doctor. If further query I am there to answer

I had small tremors in my head

Answered by Dr. Manmeet Kaur (13 hours later)

Brief Answer: There can be several reasons Detailed Answer: Trembling is part of anxiety. But it can occur due to various other conditions too. In my opinion, the best approach to you will be to consult a neurologist who will order a battery of tests to identify the cause and treat it. If there are no cause found, you will benefit with a dose of beta blocker. I wouldn't start you on medicines without investigations. Therefore please visit a doctor and get it sorted. Hope this helps. Take care

Brief Answer: You need to consider evaluation... Detailed Answer: Black vomit suggests possibility of lower gastrointestinal bleed. I would urge you to visit your local doctor or a gastroenterologist. You need to be evaluated and treated accordingly., I think I would not be able to add any value to our discussion further without looking into your reports. I really wish my online opinions should facilitate necessary care to you quickly and not delay it further. You can get back to me with your doctors opinion / reports. That will make this discussion more fruitful. Regards
