What Causes Shaking And Weakness In Legs While Standing?
Hello, I am fine when walking but when I stand my legs will begin to shake and feel weak. There are times when it feels I am swaying like after you have been on a cruse ship and then you get off. It is not really a dizzy feeling just a swaying. Please help! Thanks!

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely an Orthostatic tremor. A proper neurologic work out is necessary to rule out the condition. Vitamin B12 level should be checked also. Its deficiency also cause this. Most of it respond to drugs like clonazepam , valproic acid or pramipexole. A consultation with a neurologist is well appreciated.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
