Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having problems of shaking hands specially under stressful conditions. It is due to anxiety. You should practice reducing your anxiety by practicing yoga and other relaxing techniques. Alcohol and tobacco also cause shaking of hands.You should stop them if taking. Any of anxiolytic drug such as alprazolam should be tried. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us.
