What Are The Causes For Constant History Of Myoclonus ?
Hello I have a 7 year history of myoclonus but don't know what causes it. Monday I went to another neurologist. He asked me to breathe rapidly for a minute. I'm not sure if I made it to a minute. I slumped over to the right and started to shake violently. Afterwards he said since the tests I had last year came out negative (MRI and EEG) he said he didn't see a need for anymore tests. He said maybe I should see someone for stress management because stress manifest itself in different ways. I left confused because I am a happy, blessed, laid back person. Is he right? What happened to me is that called a seizure? Should I continue trying to find out what makes me lose my balance?

Hello there!
Thank you for asking. The doctor is right you just need stress management. Hyperventilation ( Increased breathing ) leads to those shaking chills you mentioned., Yes they were seizures but your EEG and MRI are clear so you just need to manage all stress factors you have to get better.,
Do as your doctor say. you are in safe hands
