Many causes: At your age, Parkinson's is lowest on the list, but other neurologic conditions can cause shaking. Stress can too. Do you have a fever? You need a simple, office based neurologic exam. Either your family doctor by an experienced neurologist if the cause isn't obvious.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
