Start with a psychologist, do meditation, do rigorous exercise, eat the right food, avoid cigarettes, alcohol and other drugs...even caffeine. Do breathing exercises, join a SA group. Do everything you possibly can and hope to God that it works!

If you are suffering from a tremor then this could well be due to a neurological disorder called essential tremor. This is relatively harmless but obviously is embarrassing and can cause anxiety and social withdrawal. A head tremor is a fairly typical symptom of essential tremor (as is a tremor in the hands, arms or trunk but it can actually manifest anywhere).

Tremor could indicate other underlying medical issues though, so it's important to go and have it diagnosed by a doctor - they can run blood tests to confirm it's not an issue such as over-active thyroid and physical tests to check it's not Parkinson's. If needs be there are further tests that can be run. This may well be embarrassing but it is important to do it. If your doctor is not helpful then find another - these are well documented disorders and you can find more info on essential tremor on the web.

There are treatments available that can greatly reduce the effects and your doctor should be able to recommend something. Just being informed alone may help you to understand and manage this embarrassing condition.

I hope this information is useful.
