I M Under Treatment For Epilepsy, Is That Muscles On My Body Suddenly Shivers ?

Hi

i m 20 years old. I m under treatment for epilepsy. Though i never gets seizure still i have to take the tablets as precaution as i got my last seizure in the month of november 2009 which was after 3 years of last one.

My query is that muscles on my body suddenly shivers & only a single muscle , which is getting quite often these days. In last 6 months i've lost 8 kg of my weight due to hectic schedule. Now i am just 48 kg. please answer my query.

you need to get the NMG studies for the muscle of the body which shivers a lot to know what exactly is the problem with the nerve and the muscle of that part causing it to shiver

Psychiatrist Dr. Satyajeet Kumar Singh's  Response
Muscular twitches or fasciculation can be the side effects of the anti-epileptic drug you are taking for your seizure prevention. But don't worry, these are minor problems. It settles with dose adjustment or you may need to change it for another anti-epileptic but only after consultation with your treating physician.



Thank you (Viewer rating for my answer is much expected )
