A member asked:

What can cause tremors and how are they fixed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many causes: There are many causes of tremor, and they are treated differently. There are causes related to blood chemistry and hormones, side effects from medicines, and causes related to the brain, which have their own treatments, both medical and sometimes, when they are bad, surgical.
