A member asked:

Why am i shaking and having tremors?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Q for more info: The cause varies. Is the tremor the same on both sides? Does it occur while sitting quietly, or when holding a glass of water or a laser pointer? Does it occur every day? Does it affect hand writing? These are some of the important questions to answer to determine the cause.
