jangle Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I've read that other people with pots have a postural like tremor. For me, about 5 months ago I developed a postural tremor in my fingers. Whenever I bring my fingers close together, they start to tremor, it seems to only happen when my fingers are close to another finger.I was wondering what was causing this?I'm worried that this is signaling that I have brain damage in my cerebellum and is representing an essential tremor like effect.Has anyone talked to their specialist about their tremors? Could this be related to POTS in another way other than brain damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 its the sympathetic nervous system being overactive. I get this bad as well. beta blockers helped it but made my dizziness worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmichaelson Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I've noticed that my hands are shaky and have a tremor too since this all started. I had nerve tests about 6 months ago due to this symptom and numbness/tingling in my hands, but the results were kind of inconclusive: I had some "slow" nerves but not indicators of an exact disease. I also have trouble with fine motor skills now too, like picking up small things and my writing has gotten a lot worse too.It's a relief to see rama say that about our sympathetic nervous system being the cause of the tremors at least. I've never known the reason for it and sometimes not knowing makes me imagine the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
