Okay i shake when i sleep! not my whole
body, but at times my head bounces up and
down. it doesnt wake me up or anything!
but usually my leg shakes every night!
this has been happening ever since i was 4
or 5 yrs old! I have asked doctors whats
wrong with me bu they ignore my questions
every time! and it happens whilke i am
asleep, i don't even know it happens, it
doesnt even wake me up! but i always ask
my fiancee "did i shake tonight" and every
day she says "yes, i do". I'm scared it
might be something bad! Please i just want
to find out what is wrong with me. And get
it fixed. When i was a child it started
out with my head shaking, and the older i
got the lower down my body the shaking
would go, but last week my head started
doing it again. PLEASE HELP ME FIGUER
THIS OUT. I did research on RLS but i can
go to sleep, my legs do not bother me
before i fall asleep. it happens when i am
asleep!
Any head bouncing or shaking legs while
sleeping should be checked and monitored
by a neurologist in a hospital. It's not
possible to give you a diagnosis now
because your description is based only on
your girlfriend’s testimony that
you’ve been shaking while sleeping.
Shaking during sleep (if you are not
cold), could be due to neurological
seizures or a psychiatric disorder
(dissociative disorder, nightmares…).
You can consult a neurologist to inquire
about the necessary diagnostic examination
and to schedule an appointment to get the
condition checked out.
