What Causes Tremors In Arms And Legs Post Antibiotic Treatment?
A couple of weeks ago I got a lung infection which I took antibiotics for, but I had a symptom that I've never had before and of course I neglected to mention it to my dr. My arms and legs (and I sometimes feel it in my torso) will start shaking, especially if I tighten my muscles. Should I go back to my doctor?

hi
maybe you were put on high doses of bronchodilators lilke theophylline, doxophylline,
they can cause this tremors, or shaking like movements with limb weakness
please take help of your treating doctor to either stop these medications or reduce the dosage
do not worry
all the best
take care
