Talk to Neuro Physician on Lip And Chin Tremor

mother, Rawalpindi

My mother's lips and chin suddenly started trembling. Is this condition treatable, and what could be the possible cause? The MRI of the brain was normal. The tremor is present even at rest and has become more frequent

This looks like a familial essential tremor. Usually this is only present in hands but can also affect chin when it is called titubation. It will vanish during sleep and becomes more pronounced when the patient is anxious. The treatment is with a beta blocker drug Propranolol ( Inderal) but it should only be administered under medical supervision.
