I saw my doctor because my hands started shaking and I had random twitches in my upper arms. He said they are probably benign essential tremors and medication (i.e. beta blockers) should only be necessary if it effects daily life. However, it could be a number of other things, some serious and some not so serious, which is why I might have blood work done and/or see a neurologist. On the maintainable side, there's copper metabolism and thyroid problems, which can be tested through blood samples as far as I know. On the scary side, there is the possiblity of a muscular disorder like ALS or a brain tumor. I always seem to picture the worst possible scenario which is why I'm planning on having a number of things checked.
