Specializes in Family Medicine

See your doctor: It sounds like you have a form of chronic movement disorder of your hands. Depends on the type of tremor, it may get worse and effective treatments may be available. Talk to your doctor and get a referral to see a neurologist to get a definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
