Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Tremors may be age related or due to weakness or due to essential tremor or stroke related or parkinsonism or due to drugs or caffeinated drinks or anxiety or panic attacks. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use Avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks, avoid smoking, do yoga and meditation daily. If symptoms not improved you may try tablet Propranolol once a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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