Could Lack Of Proteins Be The Cause Of Shaky Hands In An Elderly Heart Bypass Surgery Survivor?

HI! My grandmother's age is 75. She just underwent heart bypass surgery and after a month from her surgery she is now experiencing shaky hands for a few days.
We did visit her heart doctor and they said all is fine.
But her report suggests that she is lacking proteins.
Could deficit protein contents in her body cause shaky hands?

However treated protein Def by hood quality protein diet will be the best way to rule out. However no supplement ot iv recommended till albumin is less than 3. Regards Dr priyank mody
