Help Plz! Do I have it?

Dear all,
I have been reading these forums for sometime and this has been a long time due for me and then I finally decided to go for it.
About me : 23 M Indian(Asia) living in the US
Symptons: My first symptoms were noticed around 2 years ago when I was playing carom board. This game involved using the fingers to force and hit coins in the pocket. A friend of mine said that my fingers shake when i am targeting the striker.
Around the same time my mom noticed that when i extend my hands straight in air my right hand fingers shake slightly. I have also had tremors in my upper limb when i lean my whole body on my hands.
Around 6 months ago i started to observe my hands and i noticed that it does shake when i hold it straight. Meaning postural tremor. My hands are fine when they are at rest. My left hand is fine for now. Whne i hold me legs high up in air they seem to have very slight tremor like movement.
For the past 1 week, i am able to feel that my head is having an inner tremor when I sleep. I dont think people can notice it but i feel in some positions in bed.
When I take a hot shower sometimes i find that my tremor gets slightly bad.
My questions -
1) Could it be MS because of my hot shower symptoms?
2) I am unsure if it is PD/ ET since I am not sure if it is progressing or static?
I have not gone and met a Doc yet since i am still a student and I am yet to start my job. My worry is if i goto a doc and he starts prescribing things to me then I would not be able to pay for it unless i start my job. So ive decided to give 1 more year and then see how it goes.
I have not even started my life fully and dont have a gf. Will i be able to have normal relationships and work full time?
Thanks in advance.

When he was in his late 20's he had a fight with some of the bad guys near our place,,, and one of the guys hit him with a hollow block on his nape (our nerves are all there!).
As we grew older, we've noticed that when my dad was drunk he moved quite slowly.
At times, we can see his fingers shaking. Eventually, the shake became regular, specially if he was tensed.
I think you should see a doctor at the soonest, for you to be able to find out on what is the best thing to do. . You're still studying? I think schools has their own doctors, you can seek advice from them for free(?).
