asthma and essential tremor.

Hi everyone, I've just joined. I've had asthma for many years, and was recently diagnosed with Essential Tremor, a neurological condition. The problem is that the beta-blocker,Propanolol, which is used to treat ET is very dangerous for asthmatics and can kill. I don't know if there are others here who also suffer from this, but I'd really be interested to know how you cope and what medication you take for the tremor. Thanks, Abeille.

Me too. Developed adult onset asthma a year ago and then ET last October Could the new recent steroid asthma treatment have caused the tremor? No treatment for tremor but it is becoming worse and I am very wobbly - it seems to be in my legs and my balance is poor. Diagnosed by a consultant.

I have essential tremors due to what they think is the asthma medication I'm on

I just put up with the tremors

[Erin001 in reply to Erin001]

I get pain with mine when writing that is mainly and my tremors vary on severity

You can live with it and I don't know how to support you other than saying I suffer as well

Medication I don't really know about and coping well it's like asthma you just put up with it
