Default Hand tremors on Synthroid

My husband has been on synthroid for the past 7-8 years. In the late fall, his dosage was upped to 88 mcg. Over the past two months he has developed hand tremors in one hand. The doctor says that he does not think it is caused by the medication, but after researching it myself, I feel it is highly possible. We are going to the doctor again in a day or two. What else do I need to ask him or request of him?

Default Did you find an answer?

My wife is also experiencing very mild hand tremors while on synthroid 50 mg. Did you find an answer to stop the trembling? It is slight, but very annoying to my wife.

Too high of a dose of thyroid medications can cause a fine tremor, but it would not be in just one hand. The dose should be adjusted based on Thyroid Stimulating Hormone levels (blood test).
