Hello, Several conditions can cause tremors such as many medication side effects, alcoholism, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke or focal seizures,  low or high thyroid,  tumors of the brain,  Friedrich's ataxia or Wilson's disease.  One type of tremors have no known cause and they are called essential tremors.  

If your condition is worsening you probably need to see your doctor to determine the cause and why it is getting worse.  Have you been put on a new medication recently that may be adding to the increase in tremors?   Tremors are a result of imbalance dopamine in the body and usually medications such as levodopa or Anticholinergic drugs-such as Atropine, Atrovent, Oxivent, Spiriva,  and Rubinol  are used to treat them.  Nicotine counteracts anticholinergic medications.  If the tremors are alcohol related then detox is necessary to decrease them.  

I Hope This Helps.  Good Luck and God Bless!
