What is the reason why the child is startled when sleeping?

Patient's question:

The child is eight years old and always startsle easily when taking a nap in the evening. Sometimes, they also shake their hands, and at other times, their legs shake. Apart from this, they also sweat a lot, even when covering with a thin blanket.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, it is recommended that you take your child to the pediatric department of a hospital for a trace element test. If there is a lack of trace elements, treatment will be provided based on the specific circumstances. If there are no abnormalities, it is suggested to have your child undergo a video EEG test to rule out the possibility of epilepsy. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
