What Causes Shaking While Sleeping?
im 33 years old, female. My fiance has just told me that at night, while I m sleeping, I shake a lot to the point that it wakes him up. He says that he s tried to wake me up & but I won t wake up & that I only stop once he nudges me. He says that it happens almost every night for the last couple months. I have no idea of what is going on.

Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to a possible epilepsy seizure. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing an EEG and a brain MRI. Some blood lab tests are necessary too (thyroid hormone levels, complete blood count, blood electrolytes).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
