Hello.

These could be essential tremors. The tremors are often brought on/increased by stress and anxiety. Inderal often helps in such cases.

The condition will not hamper your training as a surgeon. But if you find that your anxiety is more than you can handle, please consult a psychiatrist for the same.

Regards
