I forgot sometimes the inhalers will cause the shakes; best to document what meds you took when and what you are eating then document when the shakes occur that might help your doctor to identify outlying reasons

Some of the meds we take can contribute to being shaky, so talk with your doc about both the short acting and long acting beta agonists like albuterol; those are usually the culprits. As for the memory, it could be age, anxiety, or low O2 levels, so check with your doc. If you're really concerned, ask for a neuropsychological consult. That will give you good answers.

My inhalers leave me shaking, and I can’t write or control my hand movements, so I stopped using inhalers for the most part.

Regarding your memory, @A MyCOPDTeam Member, that’s trickier. You need a doc to determine if your ox saturations are dropping, possibly causing memory issues. Or, if it’s time to see a gerontologist for regular memory testing.

Hugs to you, as we’re all just guessing. You need real, actionable data to help you figure out if it’s normal aging or side effects from COPD. Hugs to you.
