What Causes Dizziness And Tremors In The Hands And Head?

I am concerned about my husband. He occasionally shuffles his feet complains of dizziness, has occasional tremors of his hands and head. He says its too much coffee, arthritis, sinus or his hearing aids. I m concerned about Parkinsons or other neuro issues. He is going to be 73, 298 lbs and a pack a day smoker.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since he is active smoker, we should definitely rule out parkinsonism for his symptoms.
So better to consult neurologist and get done clinical examination and MRI brain.
He should stop smoking immediately.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
