It is known that the patients of hypothyroidism may develop some tremors.
However it is more significantly and frequently a feature of hyperthyroidism.
Your tremors may be in fact stress induced, especially in view of your status of sciatica, and fibromyalgia.
Sometimes antidepressants and anti anxiety drugs may cause them too. So you may need to meet your doctor for dose adjustment.
Feeling hot and sweaty may be due to thyroid disorder. So thyroid testing and treatment may be indiacted
