General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Some of the common reasons of tremor of the hand are:
• Parkinson disease
• Essential tremor -- a neurological disorder. People with essential tremor experience frequent shaking. The shaking can’t be controlled.
• Medication side effects
• Caffeine overdose
• Anxiety
• Low blood sugar

So is necessary a neurological examination and some tests beginning with a blood test.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
