Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Good morning, I have heart palpitations..like large thumps when I lay down. This is going on along with tremors. My hands tremble all day long. I am a woman, 40 years old. In otherwise good health my whole life. Don't take birth control pills. Have exercised and lifted weights from the age of 19.
I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Palpitations with tremors are commonly found in overactive thyroid, anxiety disorders or hypertension.
I suggest you should consult a physician and get yourself worked up for these conditions. A complete medical history an physical examination will go a long way in diagnosing your problems. You may also need a few tests like BP measurement, CBC, ECG, Thyroid levels and others.
Once the diagnosis is made then a comprehensive management plan may be started for you which may include lifestyle changes, behaviour therapies and medications.
In the mean while you should avoid stress and avoid situations that aggravate your problems.
