Tremors: Multiple possibilities: too much caffeine, thyroid disorder, essential tremor or familial tremors. In young patients certain demyelinating disorders are considered in the differential diagnosis. Check with your physician to see if there is any need for testing and neuroimaging. Hope you feel better soon.

Likely genetics-: Benign essential tremors. Get checked for overactive thyroid gland. Take care!
