Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old and occasionally twitches when he sleeps. What is going on?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of an epileptic seizure are convulsions, especially during sleep when convulsions often occur. The phenomenon of convulsions during sleep could be a sign of an epileptic seizure or be caused by dreaming. What we need to pay attention to is: when a person falls asleep, it is very similar to this phenomenon. As sleep deepens, the limbs become extremely relaxed, and the motor command system from the brain to the lower limbs becomes very weak.
