Brief Answer:
Medical treatment would help.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your dad's symptoms. He needs detailed neurological evaluation to determine the diagnosis.
Two most important possibilities include parkinsonism and essential tremors. Both conditions would improve with medications such as beta blockers (propranolol), trihexiphenidyl, etc.
A brain scan would be needed to exclude any brain ischemia (lack of blood flow to brain).
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
