Tremor-Like feelings (No, I have a literal hand tremor)
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have been reading about menopause symptoms on different websites and one listed is: Tremor-Like feelings. My period stopped about 12 months ago and I had my hormones tested last month. I am 47 and the gynecologist said that there was no way I was in menopause yet, he claimed I was to young. Well, tests came back and my numbers indicate I am Post-Menopausal. I had almost no estradiol/estrogen. I developed a literal right hand tremor about 6 months ago (dominant hand). I was sent to a neurologist and he diagnosed it as "Essential Tremor". I asked my gynecologist and the neurologist if it could be related to my hormones, being I have nearly no estrogen in my body. Both said they weren't sure. The tremor is mild and gets worse with stress. Has anyone had this happen to them around the time of your menopause?

Don't stress, i had this exact symptom and it was really scary - get your tests to cross anything bad off the list and then just move on - its horrible BUT it will go away as things settle- hang in there, so many horrible things happen as you move through this experience. Take care

Thanks, your reply makes me feel much better. I also recently saw an endocrinologist and blood tests came back normal.

Yes, I'm 46 and in what I think is perimenopause. I started having trembling in my hands every now and then about a year ago. Seeing your post makes me feel a little better because my doctor hasn't been able to find a reason for it. I guess its just another uncomfortable side effect of perimenopause😨
