Hi,

It is difficult to say without a good clinical exam. This trembling could be just a sign of nervousness or anxiety or could be essential tremors which usually run in families.
For essential tremors the treatment is mainly by beta blockers.

Tremors are also seen chronic alcoholics. This requires further evaluation, I would suggest you to get a clinical exam done by your GP.

Hi....depending on how long u r plauged with this I would suggest going to a dr.

I also have this....mostly in my right hand.....but I do have a dx.

Not even a dr here can speculate to this cause with out knowing ur history.IS this ur only symptom...no pain....weakness?

Please see ur dr and post an update.
