Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Can the thyroid cause head tremors?Doctor's answer:
Enlargement of the thyroid gland generally does not cause the symptom of trembling in the arms again. Mainly, it may lead to difficulty in breathing, mild coughing, wheezing, cyanosis, jugular venous distension, hoarseness, and other symptoms. If the thyroid enlargement is accompanied by hyperthyroidism, symptoms such as trembling in the hands, heat intolerance, excessive sweating, weight loss, fatigue, emotional irritability, and tachycardia may reappear. It is recommended to regularly check the thyroid function at the local People's Hospital's endocrinology department.
