What Causes Body Tremors And High Blood Pressure?
my partner is 82 and has alzheimers, yesterday he complained of feeling shaky and cold and went to bed. I took his bp and it was 245/119, Even after being in bed for a couple of hours it was still 198/96. He said he had no pain but complained of watering eyes.........they weren't so I wondered if he meant he had blurred vision. He got up later in the day and seemed a bit better but very tired. I subsequently wonderedif this was a normal part of the disease or whether it could have been a tia or silent mi?

Hello, The blood pressure you have mentioned are considered very high and urgent treatment should be warranted for the same to avoid any end organ damage or complications from the same.
It can be a transient TIA, however the same can be confirmed only with MRI brain.
But to be on safer side it's wiser to visit a doctor for control of his blood pressure.
