Hello,
Most likely your husband has Parkinsonism. In Parkinsonism, there is typically resting tremors, bradykinesia (sluggishness of movements), rigidity, and expressionless face. This is due to lack of a neurotransmitter called dopamine. Kindly consult a physician. He needs to be treated with Levodopa/Carbidopa tablets for long time. Otherwise his condition may worsen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sanjay Kini
