Anxiety &amp; tremors: Your tremors MAY be from anxiety or from a condition that some folks get as we "mature" which produced tremors though the reason is not always clear. Please see a mental health professional to learn strategies to manage your anxiety. Medication is not the only answer. See www.relaxationresponse.org for some self-help.
