I'm not sure what your question is. Looking at your MRI scans of 2012 and 2022 there is apparent atrophy of your brain. Although you can see this with advanced Parkinson's in a person your age there are concerns for other degenerative, dementing problems. I would suggest looking into a specialized Movement or Memmory disorder center for indepth and detailed evaluation diagnosis and treatment. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/parkinsons-disease/youngonset-parkinsons-disease#:~:text=It's%20not%20common%20to%20see,%2Donset%20Parkinson's%2C%20or%20YOPD.

Hello there. Your complaint does not sound like the common essential tremor. You need to have this further evaluated, especially with a history of congenital heart defects; One main concern would be a genetic disorder.
