A member asked:

Tremor: If this only happens when you are stressed over an exam, it is likely anxiety as a cause, but if it can occur at any time, it may be one of many things, two of the more common ones being carpal tunnel syndrome or an essential tremor. Also consider getting your thyroid checked.
