Anybody Else Have A Problem With "TWITCHING?" That Is, Uncontrollable Shaking Or Muscle Spasms, Usually Brief, But Still Annoying,
. . . as when I'm pouring a cup of tea or trying to sign my name. Handwriting has deteriorated a lot. And I'm making more typing errors on a keyboard. I've read this can be associated with COPD, which is why I'm asking. Thanks.
You are not alone, @A MyCOPDTeam Member. The only thing that helps control the shakiness for me is to eat more or stop taking the inhaler. Both options aren’t the best choices, but you decide what might work best for you. Hugs.

Thanks Joanne, I'll look it up.
Actually, the trembling may be a side effect of the beta-argonist ingredients, which are stimulants, @A MyCOPDTeam Member.
If you research the side effects of Stirolto Resprimat, you will see a number of possibilities for side effects with tremor being a primary issue.

Thanks to all for your comments. Since so many of you blame steroids in your medications, I checked with my pharmacist about the two inhalers that I'm taking: Stirolto Resprimat, and Ferodill. The first is fabulously expensive here, but the second is available through the national health, and neither includes any steroids. So, the answer seems to be that the trembling is a symptom of a) old age or b) COPD. If anybody else wants to weigh in on this matter, please do.
