What Do Tremors On The Lips And Hands Indicate?

My wife has been daily experiencing involuntary tremors of her lips, and has said she has experienced mild tremors of her hands occasionally. I recommended she see a physician as soon as possible. But her regular doctor, whom she trusts, is no longer available. Do you have any idea as to what might be causing this?

Hello,my name is dr,Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
There are many reasons that cause tremors. The abnormal or pathological tremor is more obvious and more visible to the naked eye. As such, it does interfere with everyday activities. The frequency of the contractions is in the area of 4 to 7 cycles per minute.
-Familial and essential tremors are the most common conditions associated with action tremor.
-Parkinsonian
-Degenerative disorders
-Infection-related
-Drug/Toxin induced
Of course you should consult a neurologyst for the right diagnose.
Hope my answer was helpful,if you have any other question I will be glad to answer,thanks!
