Hello,

Most probably it is due to severe anxiety. However We have to rule out other causes like hyperthyroidism and essential tremor. If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

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

Take care

Regards,
