Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice
There are different diseases that cause tremor while in rest that disappear while moving.
The reasons may be essential tremor, parkinson, thyroid disorders etc.
I suspect it may be Initial phase of Parkinson.
You should do further examinations to investigate better the condition.
You can do blood test, ct, MRI of brain. Also you should consult a neurologist to see these signs and examine you physically.
