Tremors: Anxiety or Worse?

Tremors: Anxiety or Worse?

Im only 21, a month from 22 about to celebrate it in europe. since february thru march ive been under a great deal of stress. in mid april i developed tremors, my hands, arms, legs, feet, body. now is july 1st and i still have body tremors, sometimes my feet and legs, barely noticable by anyone but me honestly. i have been on ativan for a month now but still tremors in my hands and sometimes arms. i get slight tremors reaching for something but holding a cup, fork, remote, etc. my hands shake. now its not a crazy spasm but when i feel anxious it gets worse. i dont feel anxious all the time, i dont currently feel stressed but i have tremors when i hold my hands up looking at them they shake. the ativan was great first week or so in me not feeling anxious, i was calm and careless, but still, hand tremors. its almost going to be 3 months now with these tremors most noticable in my hands and it just increases my anxiety and stresses me out that i will never be normal again like i once was. honestly 3 or 4 months ago and my entire life i didnt have them. my question is and i want an honest truth, will these tremors ever actually go away? one day will i be able to hold something or look at my hands and they wont shake? i read online a lot about tremors getting worse and no cure and i do believe i developed them because of ME, MY anxiety, MY mistake of looking up online diagnosis only to read parkinson's or ET or something incurable. im really worried if its anxiety why hasnt it gone away? i was anxious in life before too but no tremors. Again the only question I have if anyone even cares or is willing to read this and reply, do tremors go away, will they go away with time or lifestyle change or is it only going to get worse? thank you for anyone interested in helping me out. thank you.

Have you had any bloodwork done?  Low levels of vitamin 12 can cause this, and well as thyroid problems.  I would get a complete check-up to make sure it's not something other than anxiety.  If all is okay then contact your doctor who is treating you for the anxiety about it, you may need a different medication or an increase in dosage.  Good luck and take care.
