What are the possible reasons i keep having these hand tremors?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilites: At your age, benign (not a disease) tremor which is inherited can start. It is more apparent when you focus on a task, and disappears when you rest or relax. Tremor occurs with some medicines, toxic exposures, alcohol use and withdrawal, fatigue of small muscles and electrolyte imbalance. A simple examination of your nervous system and some blood tests is in order.
