What Causes Tremors In The Thumbs While On Treatment For Hypertension?
I m a 53yr old female, overweight, on HB pills and an anxiety/depression pills. Have noticed in the past few months that my thumbs sometimes tremor somewhat with certain motions, my hands might jerk a little and my head on occasion. I feel slightly confused sometimes and have minimal memory issues.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
More than antihypertensives your tremor is because of long term intake anxiolytic agents. you can consult your doctor to decrease the dose or change the medicines for that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
