Hi,

Graves' disease may cause tremors and weakness of muscles. It also cause cardiac arrhythmia. You may have to check thyroid status, also check for parkinsonism disease.

You need to take corticosteroid and anti thyroid medication. Please you can take tablet Propranolol for tremors.

Please consult your Endocrinologist, he will examine and treat you with anti thyroid drugs.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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