Brief Answer: Trembling is a side effect of drugs you are using. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. The use of Xopenex, atrovent, combivent is associated with changes in heart rhythm. Taking Metoprolol will alleviate such side effects. The use of such drugs (as mentioned above) is also associated with tremor and nervousness. I suggest to discuss such side effects with your doctor to get another alternative with less side effects. Hope it was of help! Dr.Albana
