What I am most concerned about is the uncontrollable shaking in my hands and great weakness. Is this still part of a blood pressure issue?
Regarding your other questions about neck pain or medications. No. My choloesterol is high but the my doctor states the ratios are excellent so there is nothing worry about. Trigycerides are currently a bit high.

Brief Answer:
Shaking and weakness may not be due to blood pressure
Detailed Answer:
Shaking of hands and weakness may not be due to blood pressure. Without examination, I cannot comment on whether or not this is alarming or serious. A clinical examination is important to rule out tremors or abnormal movement. So you may please consult a physician for opinion
