R/o pneumonia: When a doctor sends a patient for a test or a biopsy is sent in to a lab the referring doctor has to enter a clinical diagnosis. This is usually written down as rule out or r/o whatever it is they think it might be. So if you were having respiratory symptoms he may have sent you for a test to r/o pneumonia.

Really a tremor?: It would be extremely unusual to have a tremor such as you describe.There are other movement disorders, including fasiculations or tics, that would be much more likely. So, first step first, is to ask your doctor if it is a tremor.
