What Causes Finger Tremors?
Hi,
I have visible green veins towards the left chest and running through the shoulder and to almost half of my left arm. I am a smoker, and drink lightly. I am otherwise healthy.
I do notice very slight trembling of my fingers. anything that I need to worry about?

Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms (increased vascular visibility on your chest) could be related to smoking.
Anyway, I would recommend performing a chest X Ray study and a cardiac ultrasound to examine the blood flow in vena cava and your lungs.
Regarding the trembling fingers, it could be age related (especially if you have a family history of essential familiar tremor).
Anyway, if the problem persists, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing some blood lab tests to exclude other possible causes (complete blood count for anemia, thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction).
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
