How Can severe Head Tremors In A 78 Years Old Be Treated?
I have had two brain scans and have been diagnosed with benign tremors of the head. I was told by a neurologist that the medication that would help me would be very difficult to take and to hold off as long as possible. I am 78 years old and it is getting worse. The movement seems to be left to right or right to left . It is not occurring constantly however it is quite often. I am aware of it and when I am aware of it I hold my Head stiff and that makes it worse. Are there any exercises or any suggestions you might have . I have chosen not to go back to the neurologist.
Sounds to be a brain pathophysiologic changes related issue. But the detailed understanding requires an evaluation of brain scans, which are missing here. Kindly revert back with full details provided.

Take care
Regards,
Dr Purva Patel, General & Family Physician
