Hi,

As you are reporting to be taking 4 blood pressure pills a day, then, trembling in your lower stomach that irradiated to your legs and chest might be related to:
- oscillation in blood pressure/sugar levels: should monitor them, record the results for further evaluation by your doctor
- stomach issues: get physical examination by your doctor
- electrolyte imbalance (especially if you are taking diuretic): run whole blood work, electrolyte balance, thyroid function test
- neurological problems: should get a full neurological examination by neurologist to rule them out and/or treat them accordingly

All the best!
