To see a top doctor in a special movement clinic run by a major health provider near me. They specialize in these types of movement disorders , and I had someone close in my family also has it too. Many issues they look at are Dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and many others lesser known ones. Hope you get the answers you're looking for.
