Tremors are indicative of mild neurological damage, evident by the fact that it began months after the initial injury.

Did the tremors start before or after your went back to the gym? If after, it sounds to me like the strain from the heavy lifting could have something to do with it... just a guess.
As far as lessened lifespan, I have been researching the heck out of head injuries since my fall, which as now four weeks ago, and I have not found one mention of a shortened life expectancy due to PCS. People with PCS may be at a higher risk for tragic results if they get hit in the head again, but I haven't seen any evidence that having PCS makes us more likely to die young.
