Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

First of all, I would like to reassure you that your symptoms do not represent any serious neurological illness, and hence, there is no need to worry.

The symptoms are related to depression, which can cause shaking in arms (due to anxiety) and headache.

Please consult a psychiatrist, and you would benefit from using anti-depressants, such as escitalopram.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
