Hello,
There can be various causes for the tremor as of now. I shall try my best to list some of the most likely causes so you can understand and follow them up.
They are: -Fear/panic attacks from the fall she suffered (this can explain the high blood pressure as well) -Weakness -Anemia -Various medications:
There are quite a few medications that can cause a tremor like the one your mother experienced. Could you share the list of medications she is on with me.
Thank you -Nerve damage from the fall: She can start taking vitamin B complex nutrients to help strengthen her nerves (eg. a complex of vitamin B1, B6, B12) -Head injury (did she suffer any head injury).
From my personal experience, the most likely cause could be fear sir/ma'am.
I have come across many elderly patients who suffered a fall and from there on are paranoid to even take one step down in the fear of falling again.
Support your mother and help boost her confidence. Keep her distracted and let her know that she is safe and that this will not happen again.
With time, if there is no other cause for the tremors, I am sure she will be perfectly fine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
