My mother-in-law who is 83 has been having episodes of sudden shaking and total weakness. She has had two falls and broke an ankle. She loses all strength suddenly and doesn t know when it will happen. When she went to the hospital they gave her fluids and tested blood but couldn t find anything. At one point I believe she was told her kidney function is not quite normal. Any ideas....she goes to an array of specialist but know when has an answer for her?
Hello, Sudden onset of weakness may be due to stroke or essential tremor or delirium or electrolyte imbalance or caffeine or other medications or its ma be a seizure etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please get it done MRI brain, ECG, serum electrolytes, X-ray of leg and blood sugar levels. Please consult with your neuro-physician he will examine and treat you accordingly. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
