Brief Answer:
Probably essential tremor.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

When it comes to tremor, it is necessary to differentiate if the tremors occur in rest or worsen with movements, if these are aggravated by stress, caffeine, fatigue, or not, and if there are other neurological signs such gait problems etc.

However, essential tremor is a relatively common issue as we age.

It is necessary to get evaluated by a Neurologist in order to understand better your condition.

Hope you found the answer helpful. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards.
