Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Please provide details of the following:
•     Is the spasm involving only left abdomen or total upper limb, and lower limb also?
•     Since when are you experiencing these symptoms?
•     What is your age?
It may be hemiplegic migraine, upper motor neuron lesions, partial seizures or Parkinsonism etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your Neurophysician he will examine, do MRI brain and treat you accordingly.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
