Left Hand Tremor

Not sure if to post this here or on Anxiety but here goes.  I have Health Anxiety and seem to go from symptom to the other.  I am currently on Floruxtine (sorry for bad spelling).

Over the last week I have noticed that my left hand shakes when I hold it out palms faced down.  My fingers twich.
My right hand is very still.  

When my hand is at rest it does not shake/tremor at all.

I am so worried about it and think I may have PD or MS or something like that.

Thanks for reading.

Hello Dear,
It seems you have been having some neuropathic condition like Benign fasciculation syndrome which is a neurological disorder characterized by twitching of various voluntary muscles in the body like that in eyelids, arms, legs, and feet.The twitching may be occasional or may go on nearly continuously. An electromyograph test is desirable to assess your condition better.
Do you also have altered sensations, fatigue, muscle cramps and exercise intolerance?
Have your anxiety levels incraesed in the recent past?You should consult a neurologist and evaluate the cause.
