health issues

Does any one suffer from hand tremors? I have them all the time. I don't know if's part of copd or a neurological issue. I also suffer from running nose daily.
The only thing that stops it is if I lay down which I don't want to do. My doctor has given me a noise spray and now I take Claritin. But still having issues.

  1. Hi , I am sure if other community members have a similar experience that they will share with you. I will say though, that if you are concerned about the tremors, I would definitely speak with your doctor about them. They are in the best position to say whether it is in relation to your COPD or something else! Please keep us updated on how you are doing. All the best, Sam S. (COPD.net, team member).

    1. Hi roscoe, and thanks for your post. I see my colleague, , has already responded to your concern and, I agree with her.
      Interestingly enough, as best as I could tell, we had a similar question posted close to three years ago. Here is a link to that post: https://copd.net/stories/tremors. Just as interesting, no one commented on it back then.
      As you may be aware, some of the medications prescribed for COPD, can cause the jitters or 'shakes'. But, if you are referring to actual hand tremors, it may be best to bring this to the attention of your physician.
      What do you think?
