Anxiety: Ocd has big anxiety component. Can be under-treatment, or just u. Stop caffeine & other stimulants as able, lower stress (breathe/biofeedback/meditate). If still there, talk to your provider to decide how/if to treat.

Shaking hands: If you lift your hands for some time, the muscles will eventually fatigue -- leading to shaking. If this is what you mean, it is normal and happens even to people who aren't dealing with ocd. Exercise may help you with stamina and endurance. If concerned, ask your doctor about it.
