What Causes Tremors In The Hands And Legs?

I had a blackout episode around 1:30am last Monday morning going to the kitchen. I have these frequently. My arms and legs begin to jerk and I can t hold on to anything or stop myself from falling, usually causing flat face to the counter, wall, or floor. I have broken my nose, many concussions, broken tail bone twice... This latest fall caused a hematoma on the left side of my head. Today I noticed the bruising has fallen down into my face. Is this possible.

Hello,

How old are you? Are you suffering from hypertension or diabetes? Most commonly old age the balancing mechanism is function properly, poor bone strength and weak muscle support lead to falling.

Other causes like stroke, anemia, parkinsonism, normal pressure hydrocephalus etcetera. You need a complete examination to confirm the cause of your problem. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
