What Causes Tremors In The Body Of An Elderly Woman?
What would cause whole body shaking like a palsy in a 94 yr old woman? ER did CT Scan which was clear. She has never had this before and it came on during her sleep and lasted several hours. ER gave her Ativan which did help and they suggested that a UTI might have caused this but I am skeptical. Thanks

Hello,
It is good thing that CT has come normal. I also do not think that UTI may cause this. Anyway, if UTI is thereby urine complete examination then let it be treated. Let Ativan continue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
