Hello, You need to see a neurologist but this type of tremor is most often associated with something called essential tremor or benign familial tremor. It is not the type of tremor that occurs with Parkinson's disease since that tremor occurs at rest, not with movement. Please see your doctor and get a referral to a neurologist to be sure that it is nothing more serious than essential tremor. Regards
