whats his Hb?
Its low. At this level your mentioned symptoms can be manifested; also an indication of transfusion. I'll advise you to consult the operating Surgeon he can guide you about transfusion.

it's called intentional tremors,
causes are :
anxiety ,fatigue ,brain infarct ( clot in a part of brain known as cerebellum), brain atrophy, alcohol dependence,
also furosemide can cause hypocalcemia leading to tremors,
so correct his HB by blood transfusion and get his serum electrolytes and serum calcium.

Seems like hypocalcemia and a lot of fatigue. Don’t see any other signs of cerebellar disease or cognitive impairment.
