Shaking Badly

Hi all, I know, it's been ages since I've been on line. I love you and miss you my friends. Even as I try to type this now, the shakes are so bad that I can't even use my left hand to type.
Does aanyone have any idea what exactly is causing ut? It does not seem to be the inhalers nor nebs treatments. Otherwise, I took myself off of Advair a while back, still using Spiriva and Xopenx. I doubt it's the pill to lower my heart rate, as since I started taking the inhalers, it got in there. Is it like a build up?
I can't get a straight answer out of my docs or their assistants. thanks, Jupiter4

" When I was in the hospital I couldn't take the XopenX because it made me so nervous. I don't know for sure if that could be your problem or not. I can only use Iprotropium in my nebulizer.

" Maybe it is caused partly from your respiratory drugs in addition to other drug therapy ? Your pharmacy would be able to review the drugs you take and the possible side effects of combinations. "
