What Is Causing Headache, Shaky Hands, Achy Legs, Red And Burning Eyes, Sinus Pain? Prescribed Sinus Medicines, Antibiotics

My father is an 82-year old male, has always been in excellent health and had right head pain a year ago for several months which went away. Several months ago it returned along with shaky hands, wobbly & achy legs, some dizziness, sweating & flushed face, eye redness & burning, sinus pain and tiredness. He went to his G.P. several times who prescribed sinus meds, antibiotics and some neuro testing which found nothing. What could be going on?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

He seems to have had sinus infection, which was adequately treated by his GP.
In addition, his shakiness could be essential tremors, as there is no slowness or rigidity of limbs to suggest a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. These tremors would improve with beta blockers.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
