Hi and thank you so much for this query.
From the information you have provided and considering your age, this could be essential tremors. This occurs in people when they try to reach out and accomplish tasks. Hyperthyroidism is also a possibility but you have not provided any information to suggest this.Tiredness, caffeine consumption, alcohol, stimulants, drugs of abuse, cocaine etc can make these symptoms worse. If you are consuming any of these and more so on regular basis, please stop.
If you are not, then consider visiting a physician to get examined and get investigated before settling down the above diagnosis.
I hope you find this useful and informative. If you have more questions, please ask us and we shall gladly provide answers. I wish you good health.
