headache and tremors

I went for tests on Tuesday of this week (CT scan,MRI, and x-rays)  Is that too much in one day because later on that night I woke up with an unbearable headache in both temples, I was cold and my hands were shaking like I have never shook before.  The same thing happened the next day   - headache and my hands shook uncontrollably.  This has never happened to me before; can that occur because of all the tests or is this a nerve problem?
Thank you for your help.  waunna

Hi waunna,
How was the result of the imaging studies? Was there a contrast or medication used during the imaging studies you had? Stress may be indirectly related but the tremors or shaking may be a symptom or side effect of medications. Neurological causes or nerve problems may be evaluated by complete neurological test and the results of the imaging studies. Check with your doctor about your symptoms for proper evaluation. Take care and regards.

Hi, how are you?
What are you having all of the tests done for?
Do you get migraines regularly?
I ask these questions because I do have migraines and after a full day of testing to rule out MS I was hit with one of the worst migraines ever.  My migraines mimic MS and the busy day was just too much for me.  That was well over a year ago...
I still get the migraine headaches about once a month and up to 72 hours prior I may experience issues with speech, concentration, blurred vision, visual hallucination, hearing, smell, and balance...  Once the headache portion hits there are often times hot or cold flashes, back, neck, and arm pain, and tremors in my hands along with some of the previous aura remaining til the end...  I never get the classic one sided headache, it effects my entire head...  
The tremors could be migraine related if you pushed it just a little too far that day and have migraines...
I do hope this has helped :)
