you have whole body tremor probably essential tremor. drug of choice of essential tremor is beta blocker as propanolol 40 mg to 160 mg per day. if you have no history of asthma , diabetes and bradycardia then stary propanolol 40 mg per day and increase dose later if tremor not controlled. essential tremor is exclusion diagnosis. please tell me have you history of unilateral rest tremor, slowness of movement and age, if this present then treatment will change
