Heart disease, severe RA, and type 2 diabetes, he is cripled and unable to walk from the RA... I ve noticed a lot of shaking in his hands that seems to be worsening.. What kind of Dr. do I need to see,, I am so worried about him dying from the anxiety!

Hi,
If he is on steroids for rheumatic arthritis, then it may cause hallucinations. If he is on medication for cardiac disease, it leads to pulmonary edema, CO2 and finally hallucination.
Other possibilities are, like dementia or migraine or brain tumor may cause hallucinations.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your physician/psychiatrist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
