Salt intake and tremor relation is less likely in your case.
It may be a familial problem .It can also be due to more serious condition like Parkinsonism in which along with tremors a person has shuffling gait, stooped posture mask like face and saliva drooling from corner of mouth.Tremor increases when you do work which suggests a cerebellar problem.
Arrange an appointment to your physician . In most cases it resolves with the use of a beta blocker.
