This morning while my brother was sleeping, he just started shaking, when approached he fell of the bed and couldn't move, he stayed there trying to help himself but on ever attempt failed. When he finally got up he couldn't walk straight he fell every time. He said his head hurts. He is 11 years old. What could be the problem?

Hello
There may be a brain pathology causing shakes like this. Or this could be due to fever.
I would suggest you to visit a neurologist. Go for a MRI brain scan and a complete blood count.

Hope this helps.
Thanks
