Hi
Welcome to the forum!
If it is possible a MRI of brain and upper cervical spine should be done to rule out any lesion that could be causing tremors. It could also be a localized epilepsy like fit.
However the tremors could be due t several other causes too. Tremors are often associated with drugs, alcohol, smoking, lack of sleep, stress and fatigue. They can be seen in peripheral neuropathies of diabetes, in hyperthyroidism, parasomnia, multiple sclerosis, TIAs or transient ischemic attacks or mini strokes, hypoglycemia, disorders of calcium metabolism, hyperparathyroidism etc.
I would suggest you get the blood levels of the following checked if they have not already been checked: potassium, calcium, sodium, vitamin B complex, or vitamins B1, B3, or B6 and Vitamin D. Get your kidney function, parathyroid gland function and adrenal function tests done because these affect the electrolyte balance in the body.
Consult an internal medicine specialist or your PCP. Discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
What meds did you used to take? Did you take any kinds of meds that anyone said can cause "tardive dyskinisa?" It is caused by certain meds, especially psych meds, but not always, and it's permanent, and it will get worse if you ever take the med that gave it to you again. It won't go away, it's there for life. I'm not trying to scare you, but go back and see what meds you took and check to see if you took anything that could cause tardive dyskinsia, and if you started shaking around the time you took it, I would be going to my doctor and raising some serious HE-- because you weren't told of the risks.
Good luck, and I hope that this is not it.
I was taking depakote, serequel, and zoloft.....the depakote was the one that was blamed.
Seroquel and zoloft can cause tardive dyskinesia, I don't know about depakote, I will look into it, but I'd go to a neurologist and ask.
Depakote is used to help the symptoms of tardive dyskinedia, and when you are over 60, the risk of TD goes from 5% to 20%, and is more prevelant in females. I don't want to scare you, but I would have this checked out.
I may be way off base.
The only thing with tardive dyskinedia is that the only sypmtom of it that I show is the involuntary movements of my limbs. Nothing with the eyes, mouth, or tongue. Calling for an appointment with the neurologist tommorrow.
