I have tremors, and I have thyroid problems, but have never been told that the two were related. Tremors run in my family, called a familial tremor. Thyroid problems also run in my family too though. I suppose I should ask the doctor about this too, but since it was never mentioned and I am on medications for both, I would not think that they are related.
