Many causes: Hyperthyroidism, familial essential tremors, parkinson's disease, medications (e.g., depakote), too much caffeine, amphetamines, cerebellar problems (multiple sclerosis). I have even seen a local tremor associated with peripheral nerve weakness in an arm. There are treatments for all of the above.
