My left leg shakes/tremors when the heel is raised.why is that?what can i do to stop it?

Ankle clonus: If you have no weakness in the leg, this is likely a normal finding due to increased muscle tone in someone your age. It can sometimes be a side effect of medications like stimulants or anti-depressants, too. If you do have weakness in the leg you should be evaluated by your GP. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
