Brief Answer:
Hope you have good health
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Do you have rest tremors or action tremors? Rest tremors happen while you are sitting or lying down and relaxed. Action tremors happen when you are moving your muscles on purpose. And functional tremor can combine features of rest and action tremor. The causes are different. If a tremor is caused by another medical problem, treating that problem if it can be treated sometimes helps reduce the tremor too. The good thing for you, you should see a doctor and find the underlying cause.
Please let me know if you need any clarification. If you have any more questions I am available to discuss them with you further. Wishing you good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Heang Raksmey, General and Family Physician
