I would recommend that you first consult with your primary care doctor and then a neurologist. Hand shaking can be caused by several conditions, the most common is benign tremors. Thyroid disease, sugar abnormalities and anxiety are some of the causes. There are medications available and in more extreme cases, surgical options.
