Hi,

Non-essential tremors can be treated by beta blockers such as Propranolol help relieve tremors in some people.
Beta blockers may not be an option if you have asthma or certain heart problems.Side effects may include fatigue, lightheaded or heart problems.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
