      @TonyStark-ir8ke 4 года назад

      You’ll have to be more specific sir, what are you imagining?
      Does the tremor occur when you’re doing any activity? And does it happen when you’re just sitting doing nothing?
      There are some solutions that I try out...number1 is meditation..that helps. And I think in your case it ought to help more because the shakiness is concerned with concentration...2) homeopathy, which I started because of my mother. So far, I’d say my weakness has reduced but I still have tremors...
      3) is getting more physical exercise, try squeezing a ball while thinking about something else. Multitask. Exercise your brain, think something but do something else, like do wrist rotations and light hand exercises while thinking about basic easy math Qs (2x54, 4x12) etc...i know the last advice is unorthodox. But you need to exercise your cognitive side of the brain
