Why do arms shake when i put my weight on them such as leaning forward holding myself up with my arms? had a neuro appt today and was diagnosed with essential or pysiologic tremor but forgot to ask that?

Because you do have a neurological problem so clonus should be considered. You should call your neurologist for more info.

Essential tremor occurs with use as opposed to resting tremor as seen in Parkinson's disease. When you're putting weight on your arms, you're using them and the essential tremor shows up.
