Talk to your doctor. Did you tell the doctor you suffer from both problems? If so, it’s ok to take the Inderal. If not, let the doctor know about the asthma.
The mainstays used to treat essential tremor are propranolol (Inderal) and primadone (Sertan). However, Inderal is contraindicated for those with bronchial asthma, as you have found out. Is this the type of asthma that you have? Sertan is not contraindicated but to be safe, check with your prescribing physician and be sure this person is aware of your asthma. There are also alternative meds and surgical approaches to treat essential tremor.
