Suggest Specialist For Hand Trembling And Depression

I have been suffering from anxiety and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) since childhood. I was diagnosed with depression a year back when I was having mood swings, feelings of low self-esteem, sleep and eating issues and most alarming thing for me was bloody stools which became unusually regular initially after regular bouts of constipation and then even without constipation. I didn t take any medication for the depression. A few months back I was prescribed Inderal for anxiety and breathlessness especially related to work. I noticed that my usual blood pressure (65-75) dropped further to around 60-65 after Inderal. I took the drastic decision of quitting my job and Inderal. While the bloody stools and anxiety have reduced due to the absence of work related issues, I think the depression is still there. I went to my former workplace the other day and had an argument. An hour or two later while trying to fill a form I noticed that the fingers in my right hand was trembling and I couldn t hold the pen. Do I need to go to a neurologist for the trembling thing or do I need to go to a psychiatrist?

Brief Answer: Go to a psychiatrist.

Detailed Answer: I understand your concern and asking on HCM. As you have history of anxiety and depression and the i understand that the trembling was for sometime after the argument, it appears to be due to anxiety. If it is persistent with some other symptoms, any weakness or numbness then you can consider going to a neurologist. I hope you find this helpful.
