Patient's question:
Medical Description: A 9-year-old girl sometimes experiences convulsions during nighttime sleep. Symptoms: Stiffness in hands and feet, neck extension, normal body temperature, weakness in limbs afterward, sweating profusely, each lasting several seconds. Past Treatment and Effect: Undergone MRI and various tests, all normal. Desired Help: What is the cause of the convulsions, how to prevent them, and what further treatment should be pursued.Doctor's answer:
Hello, for the condition of twitching during sleep, it is usually more common in children, especially in cases of tetany caused by vitamin D deficiency. For such children, taking medications containing vitamin D, such as Longmu Zhuanggu Granules, can help improve the condition. As for adults like you, if there is no fever, it is possible to rule out the symptom of high fever convulsions, and the possibility of calcium deficiency is greater. Muscle twitching may occur during hypocalcemia, so you can try supplementing with calcium. If there is no improvement, it is recommended to consult a doctor. Additionally, excessive fatigue during the day or long-term high stress may also cause unconscious twitching of limbs during sleep. Don't worry too much; many people experience this. Pay attention to relaxation.
