Thank you for your question. Yes, tremors are related to hyperthyroidism and in your case it sounds more like psychogenic tremor that may be associated with depression/anxiety. Please consult your doctor in this regard. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Although without being able to examine you I can not offer you the specific advice on diagnosis and treatment that you need, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern.

Most common cause of your shaking fingers(tremors) could be few medications (neuroleptics, metaclopromide, and phenothiazines), psychogenic tremor, Parkinson’s disease and Wilson’s disease. If you do not have any other associated symptoms, it may be a psychogenic tremor that may be associated with depression/anxiety and it most commonly affects the extremities (upper & lower limbs). In addition, tremor onset is sudden and may appear even when someone is not in conscious state or if he is sleeping. This sort of tremors decreases with distraction or breaking the resting state. Although other possibilities needs to be thoroughly evaluated with help of a neurologist to reach at probable diagnosis here. Hope this information proves helpful to you.

Take Care & Regards!!!
