I have severe emphysema. My FEV1 is 32%. I am on Oxygen 4 liters at rest and 5 when I move. Why on some days do my hands tremble, and my body is very shaky. I jump very easily to sounds, etc. Yet on other days I don't tremble and I am not shaky. Does anyone know? Thank you...

And there are other factors. I do not have those, but I do get bit shaky if I over do the caffeine and do not drink a lot of water.
I hope some of the others here can offer you more suggestions...
