Dear Patient,
Thank you for asking.

Tremors can have wide spectrum of reasons. I do advice you to refer to a neurologist since a proper physical examination is very important. It can be due being generally tired and stressed can also be thyroid related or neural in origin indicating a more serious problem like parkinson but proper physical examination is needed. You would expect your doctor to order a blood test, and do MRI(brain scan), EEG (monitor brain electrical activity) and can prescribe tremor medications .

I hope this helped guide you to what to do next and what to expect.
