This depends on whether the tremor is physiological or pathological. Physiological tremors may result from excessive tension or overactivity of the muscles. However, given that your hand tremor is persistent, it is likely pathological. Possible underlying causes include hyperthyroidism, anemia, or essential tremor. Therefore, you should promptly seek evaluation and treatment at a professional medical facility.
