Brief Answer:
Neuropathy, poor neuro-muscular co-ordination
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms as mentioned in your post are essentially neurological in origin.
And there are 3 important risk factors, namely:
1. Habit of consumption of alcohol.
2. History of
high blood pressure.
3. History of
high cholesterol level in blood.
These are responsible for causing damage to the nerves (known as Neuropathy) as well as the brain & subsequently affect the neuro-muscular co-ordination resulting in tremors, uncontrolled shaking, weakness, etc.
Incidence of several falls in the last two weeks with
dizziness further substantiates this.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of nervigenic agents (like Vitamin B6, Vitamin B 12,
Folic acid) as well as
multivitamin & multimineral supplements including iron, calcium & Vitamin D needs to be added in his diet to help in blood formation & nerve conduction.
The medications for high blood pressure & cholesterol need to be taken regularly to maintain their normal level.
Also he should avoid consuming alcohol to prevent further deterioration of his condition.
If symptoms still persist, kindly
consult a Neurologist & get a complete Neurological examination done.
Certain investigations like fresh estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels,
lipid profile & nerve conduction studies will be helpful in formulating further management plan.
There is no need to worry, he will be fine.
Till then, he should maintain adequate hydration & proper nutrition status, exercise regularly and avoid stress.
Wishing him a Good Health.
Please let me know if I need to clarify further.
Take care.
