Okay so Ive been trembling on the inside now for about the last five weeks. Ive been freaking out something awful and cannot seem to make it stop. It started with tonsillitis, then a bad sinus infection, then a chest infection. All of the infections have practically gone except for a mucus buildup that is still managing to linger on.
So anyway, I was looking through old threads of people experiencing similar and was surprised to see how many people said it started with the likes of bronchitis, sinus infections, chest infections and so on.... so I looked to see if it was a common symptom when healing.
I came across some info on Wikipedia about Pseudoephedrine. many of you, like myself will not realise that it is the main ingredient in most decongestants/expectorants. I have been using Sudafed Expectorant on and off daily for the last 3 weeks and 2 weeks of decongestant tablets prior to that. Very common side effects are palpitations and trembling. Both of which are causing me great problems. It is do do with the fact that the drug itself constricts the bloodflow to certain blood vessles surrounding your muscles etc, which is great for reducing the swelling when you have chest/sinus probs, but can emphasise blood flow around the muscles, giving the sensation of trembling.
I am going to stop using my decongestant entirely, and I shall let you all know if the symptoms disappear.
