What Causes Stomach Discomfort While Suffering From Non Essential Tremors?
My husband has been diagnosed with non essential tremor At rest in bed his body almost convulses with his stomach tightening and involuntary jerking His MRI was clear He s has developed a speech impediment and his memory is very sluggish and has head nodding most of the time. He is 62 and this had a sudden onset with a clinical breakdown very severe I m worried where this is all leading to and if he has been investigated enough
Most likely your husband has Parkinsonism. In Parkinsonism, there is typically resting tremors, bradykinesia (sluggishness of movements), rigidity, and expressionless face. This is due to lack of a neurotransmitter called dopamine. Kindly consult a physician. He needs to be treated with Levodopa/Carbidopa tablets for long time. Otherwise his condition may worsen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
