Hi,

Tremors and weakness may be due to age-related cerebral atrophy with multiple infarcts lead to dementia and poor stability. Parkinson tremors or essential tremor or tremors due to hypertension or anxiety etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
