Hello,
Tremors of hands can be due to weakness, it can be due to low sugar levels in fasting state, at this age it can also be due to Parkinson disease with memory problems or it can be due to thyroid disturbances also. There are multiple causes for hand tremors. She needs to consult a physician first for this and get her evaluated for the probable cause. Treatment would be depending on the cause only.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Prashant Gohil
