Tremors: It could be alcohol withdrawl tremors if you had not drank for last 3 days. If you hadcontinue dto drink, and had twitching, you need to see neurologist to rule out cervical spine pathology like herniated disc at c6 or .C7 level. Is any family hx of tremors? If positive hx of tremors, essential tremors are likely
