Question

Answer 1

No it wasn't a seasher she was just having something called a Essential Tremor its were people have uncontrollable shaking for short periods of time if she was having a seasher she would have fell to the ground and her whole body would have been shaking.

Answer 2

It was probably a muscle spasm.

A seizure is more generalized and your grandmother would not have even remembered it happening if it was a seizure.

She should mention it to her doctor though.

Answer 3

it could have been but she is young but then again i am not sure how healthy she is. she should get to doctor and tell him about this. i t would help and i am wondering when she saw a doctor last? i would tell her for her own good and you can go with her don't worry she should be taking care of that.

Answer 4

no it was not a seizure. its probably palsy. a condition older people get where their hands or head shakes. my mom had it. its not serious but she should see a dr. they gave my mom medication for it.
