Hello,
If this is a new tremor you are experiencing the major question to answer would be whether or not it is present mostly or more noticeable when the hand is engaged in activity or at rest in your lap? If the tremor clearly gets worse with action, such as trying to hold an object, write your name, or eat with a spoon or fork, then you may have what we call an intention or action tremor.
Notice that I did not say the condition, Parkinson's disease because simply based on one piece of information that you've given it would be impossible to make such a diagnosis. However, if the tremor you mention is more active when you are not doing much with the hand then, other neurological tests need to be done in order to really come to a good solid diagnosis and this would be best carried out by a neurologist since there are a number of things that must be looked at and entities to be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
