87yr old man started shaking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be anything: Not all shaking results tremor itself. Shaking could result in essential tremor (normal aging process), parkinson's and its related conditions (abnormal aging), anxiety, alcohol use, medication induced, acute illness especially infectious process, and neurodegenerative disease. Please consult your primary care physician.
