What Causes Body Tremors And Elevated Pulse Rate Along With Depression?

Hi. I seem to shake, not only my hands but internally. I had an anxiety attack two years ago when I quit Prozac cold turkey. Then I took Celexa for a year and the began to get off it. I ve been off since Dec 2017. My pulse is elevated often and I shake. My hands do shake anyway. I have blamed it all on anxiety, but is there something else going on? I am very emotional and I cry 2-3 times per day.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



Feeling as if body is shaking, restlessness, raised pulse rate etc could be occurring due to anxiety most likely. Though sometimes in hyperthyroidism or in Vitamin B12 deficiency such symptoms can occur and this should be ruled out. If the symptoms are persistent and as these are resulting in crying spells so I'd advise you to talk with your doctor and restart the medicines. Once your anxiety is under control you will feel better.



Hope I have answered your query.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
