What Causes Random Tremors Accompanied With Rapid Heartbeats And Breathlessness?
Hi, for the past few months sometimes I just randomly start having tremors out of nowhere. I just keep shaking and I can feel my heart pounding really fast. It also becomes kind of difficult to breathe while this happens. I have no idea what s going on.

Hello....i understand your concern
Your symptoms may be brought on by a condition known as hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid.
It could also be a manifestation of panic attacks.
Before coming to any conclusion it is advisable to get your thyroid function tested.
Also get a baseline ekg done.
Please visit your physician who will thoroughly exam you along with getting the requisite tests done.
Both of the above conditions are treatable so do not worry.
I hope this helps.
