asthma and essential tremor.

4 Replies

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.
