What Causes Severe Hand Tremors While On Morphine In A Cancer Patient?

My Father is 72 battling terminal Stage 4 Cancer that has spread to His Kidneys, Lungs & stomach, He is currently in Hospice care on the strongest dose of morphine they can give Him, He s started shaking severely in his hands & we are noticing the tremors are getting worse mostly while He s sleeping, is there anything we can do to make sure He isn t suffering with these, are they making him uncomfortable? He s losing His ability to speak, He can hear Us but we have trouble making out what He s saying He s very soft spoken we have to ask Him to repeat everything. Is there suggestions you can offer Thank You
