hello
hi i can tell you that my daughter had a very bad thyroid and had to get the radio active therapy she has hypothyroidism. now i;m not sure about yours but please go get it checked out go to a tyroid specialist before anything and get it checked out properly but i will tell you she kept thinking there was alll kinds of different things was wrong with her she was so bad she kept thinking she had tumors and everything it was horrible for her to go threw this. but she is better she was told that she does have rumatory arthitis. she is only 23 years old. i just was thinking that she was going through a hormone change or something after she had her baby but it wasn;t . she was haveing these thyroid problems the thyroid will make your body have all kinds of different systoms depending on the type of thyroid condition you have.sometimes it will make your heart race palpitate , tired , feel drained, mood swings, tingling in the head hands legs cramps in the legs weight gain or lost depending on the type of thyroid condition but what i tell you is to really tell your dr. to serious sit down and you demand these test cause alot of drs just don;t want to take the time to hear what people say anymore they are in the room and out of the room and they do not listen it is your body you know how you feel tell the dr you want the tyroid test the whole panel test tell him to check your heart to just to be sure for your benifit so you know that it is not your heart or something else going on . it might take time to get all these test done but you stay on the dr to do every test untill you get the answer you are looking for. they kept telling my daughter for years that she was having aniexity attacks and here it was a serious thyroid condition she had. i;m not a dr but i am a mom and you need relief and answers to the problems. i hope that i helped somewhat but you have to demands things sometimes to get them to hear you.have them check your head and everything. to be on the safe side. tell them to give you a chemical stress test to get all your heart arteries checked out to make sure and to check your neck arteries everything for your relief. i hope i helped you alittle like i said i am not a dr but you have to get some peace of mind for you . god bless you i hope all is well .

Hi-Take yourself to a Neurologist and let him check you for Essential Tremor-Not much they do for it, but they say a glass of wine with a meal, makes it alot easier to hold your utensils, etc. Like the above person said, check out the thyroid also, I am on thyroid replacement and still have the tremor, and now its on my lips-they quiver-the more u stress the more u shake. Good luck!!

You need to get yourself diagnosed early. This can solve a lot of complications that may arise later on. Instead of rushing through with an emergency, it is better to get checked and start an early treatment. Based on what you say, there could be something associated with your thyroid or even a stroke. Maybe one is affecting the other. If you are concerned about a stroke, get yourself diagnosed at Jersey Shore University Medical center’s stroke center in NJ. They are the best.
