What Causes Tremors After A Fall?
Question: my husband fell yesterday and now is experiencing tremors and the inability to walk until the tremor ends. The tremors also happen (less frequently) in bed. He also in not able to eat very much because of a swallowing problem and has been losing a lot of weight. He will be tested for swallowing at UCLA next week. Any ideas?

Could be CNS injury; get appointment for a neurologist

Brain controls almost everything. When particular part of brain is damaged then specific symptoms appear related to that particular part of the brain. In the current situation i would suggest you to get an appointment with a neurologist.

Further treatment depends upon the results of examination & investigations.
