What Can Cause Tremors?
i am a 26 yr old male. I am 5'10 and weigh 230. I have hand tremors and cannot hold things properly without shaking, such as cups of coffee. The tremors have been present most of my life, but they seem to have gotten much worse over the last few years.

Hello,
This looks like essential tremors. If you have not got any tests done for them till now, then please get- thyroid levels, Hb%, kidney tests, and may be MRI brain -to check if there is any problem at their level; if found, this should be treated.
Essentail tremors usually respond good to propranolol, 10mg morning, afternoon and the dosage may be increased further (after monitoring blood pressure and response).
Pelase don't worry, you should see a neurologist to get it thoroughly evaluated. With right treatment, this usually improves fast.
Wish you good health.
