A member asked:

What do you suggest if i am 25 but my left hand keeps shaking (tremors)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a neurologist: A focal tremor might indicate early Parkinson's disease, but other conditions could include heredofamilial essential tremors, a problem with the cerebellum, Wilson's disease, hyperthyroidism, medication reaction (such as Depakote), etc. All of these have different treatments, and need to pin down cause first.
