Common causes of tremor include caffeine intake in excess, essential tremor, stress, anxiety, low blood glucose, excessive alcohol, muscle fatigue, aging, Pakinson's disease and [cause3].

Common physiological causes of tremor include excessive caffeine , stress, anxiety, low blood glucose, muscle fatigue, aging
Common pathological causes of tremor include the following:

Common Cause of Tremor	Type of Tremor	Main Feature of Disease
Essential tremor	Action - Postural Tremor	Weakness, hyporeflexia, lack of normal muscle tone
Parkinson’s disease	Resting Tremor	Slow - rhythmic tremor, stooped posture, imbalance
Wilson's disease	Unilateral upper motor neuron	Weakness, reduced range of motion, decreased fine motor control of tongue & lips
Multiple sclerosis	Cerebellum	Poorly coordinated movements of speech mechanism, scanning/drunken speech
Hypoglycemia	Basal ganglia	Quick involuntary movements (hyperkinesis)
Alcoholism	Action - Postural Tremor	Less movement (hypokinesis), increased muscle tone
Hyperthyroidism	Action - Postural Tremor	Mixed presentation
