What Causes Tremors And Jerking In Hands Post Bypass Surgery?

My sister 67 y 3 fem tib bypasses in a year now in rehab is experiencing tremors and jerking of the hands. Is this normal. I have noticed when her morphine was reduced it go better but had a wound pump placed this week and even though she says not as painful she is still getting same dosage.

Hello,

Here are a few possibilities for jerky movements :

1) Thyroid dysfunction
2) Parkinson’s disease
3) Electrolyte imbalance morphine is not reported to cause any such jerky movements.

Still, it might rarely be causing involuntary movements.kindly report the same to the treating cardiologist and I'm sure that morphine dose would be reduced.

If her problem persists, further evaluation is needed regarding the above-mentioned conditions.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Pallavi.m, Anesthesiologist
