Okay. You Re Very Tired. You Re Sitting At Your Computer Checking
okay. You re very tired. You re sitting at your computer checking on your emails for the day. You begin to feel less tired and a little bit energetic but by the time you are reading the last email you just want to go to bed. the next thing you know is you are jerking yourself awake (1 strong jerk that mostly jerks your hands, arms and upper torso). If you were holding something it s been thrown across the room. What is actually happening at that time?

hai,
It seems to be fits (seizure).
it will be diagnosed with ruling out
type of jerk(whole body or arms,legs,only eyes)
duration,
post episode(jerk) effects,(tiredness,)
consciousness level at the jerk episode,
urination
and along with EEG we can diagnose whether it is a Seizure or any localized muscle jerk abnormality.
thank you
hope i answered your query
