My father has Alzheimers, but he also has an enlarged liver, which is being investgated - slowly. This evening, he started shaking violently all over with breathlessness. I treated it like a panic attack, but I am worried it may be something else. Hope you can help.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Based on your description, your father most likely had a seizure. Seizures can occur in people with Alzheimer's disease. You should consult his neurologist and get him evaluated further. A CT scan of brain and EEG would be required. For control of seizures, he may be given levetiracetam tablets. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
