Why Does My Father Shake Uncontrollably?

My father is 77 years old, he has shivering problem, his hands and legs shook severely, now he has no control on toilet.

1 Answer

Answered on 30th May '24

Sounds like your dad might have something called Parkinson’s. This makes hands and legs shake a lot and causes problems controlling when you have to pee. What happens is certain cells in his brain stop working right. A neurologist can give him drugs or teach him exercises to help with these things.

I’m 18 year old female, 5.5 and 1/2 160 pounds, for the past 3 months I’ve been having dizzy spells, blurry vision and sometimes loss of vision, my whole body heats up, sometimes I puke, it happens a lot when I get out of the shower and I don’t take hot showers. I take Vyvanse,

Female | 18

This sounds like the symptoms of a condition called postural orthostatic syndrome (POTS). POTS can make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint when you stand up. It can also cause your vision to blur when standing up, heat intolerance, and nausea upon standing up. Vyvanse could worsen these symptoms. Drinking lots of fluids and adding more salt to your diet might help. Talk to your doctor about this.

Hello, my 16-year-old son has been living with epilepsy for approximately 6-7 years. We have consulted multiple doctors and tried various treatments and medications. Unfortunately, the prescribed medications have been unable to effectively manage his seizures. Over the past three days, he has been experiencing severe seizures that we have never seen before. Could you please advise if your hospital has a specialized neurologist with expertise in epilepsy treatment and surgery? We would greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide, including testimonials from other patients who have received care at your hospital. Additionally, we would like to know the price list for all treatments, including surgeries, and the types of surgeries you perform. We are currently exploring options for our son's care and would appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thank you, and we look forward to your response.

It’s always very worrying when a child’s seizures are as intense as you say and don’t seem to be affected by any drugs. This needs attention right away. When medicine doesn’t help, sometimes surgery will. The cost of treatment may depend on different things and I think it would be good for you to talk with the staff about that.

I have diagnosed epilepsy, and I currently take 200mg of lamotrigine. I am still experiencing frequent seizures and also cluster seizures. I would like to discuss if I would have any options to add another medication alongside lamotrigine to try and control my seizures.

Female | 26

You’re still having seizures despite taking lamotrigine. It’s a medication commonly used for epilepsy. When seizures continue, adding another medication may help control them. Your doctor may suggest options such as levetiracetam or valproic acid. These medicines work in different ways to prevent seizures. Discuss with your doctor to find the best option for you.

I always feel my body shaking, hot and get confused thinking, what is wrong with me?

Male | 18

You are likely having some of the panic attack symptoms. In such moments, your body may tremble and be hot; you could also have a feeling of confusion. Panic attacks may be caused by factors such as stress, anxiety, or strong emotions. To help, try slow, deep breaths, calming thoughts, and talking to someone you trust about how you're feeling.

Male | 28

The ailments you mentioned, such as pounding pain, sleepiness, and fatigue are normal for a concussion. Drink no alcohol and take it easy, but don't sleep now. See if you can manage to stay awake for a few hours and check your symptoms. Go to the doctor in case the symptoms become more serious.

I am feeling dizzyness and heavyness on right side of temple in forehead and pressure in forehead, ear, cheek, and nose block on right side of the face. Please suggest me diagnosis and treatment.

Male | 41

As per the complaints, this is a case of Sinusitis.

If you have sinusitis, the doctor may be able to recommend additional medications to relieve your symptoms, such as steroid nasal sprays or drops to reduce sinus swelling.

antihistamines - if your symptoms are caused by an allergy

Antibiotics - if you have a bacterial infection and are severely sick or at risk of consequences, antibiotics may be prescribed (but antibiotics are often not needed, as sinusitis is usually caused by a virus)

I am 46 year old man. I have little fever since days and headache with feeling head like heavyness. I do also vomit with loose motions before 4-5 days and have many anxiety also..

Male | 46

Symptoms such as fever, headache, throwing up, diarrhea, and nervousness could point towards a stomach bug or food poisoning. These might also leave you feeling light-headed or generally unwell. Make sure to drink enough water, get plenty of rest, and stick with bland foods if this is what you’re going through. If your condition doesn’t improve or gets worse than before, please see a doctor so they can examine you properly and give appropriate treatment options.
