Yesterdy my hand suddenly start shaking when im picking up pencil and it drop again. alrdy happening few times. should i be concern? what is it?

Well, it: Sounds like u have an occasional tremor, maybe caffeine or one of a million things. Don't let the anxiety run with this one, it probably self limited and not a sign of disease, good luck.
