My husband has something like an electrical shock that?

tremor
Mary E

…goes thru his body every once in a while. Thats the only way he can describe it, or like a tremor, or bad cold chill. It is usually when he is really tired and over doing it at work. I have researched this and cannot find nothin and his dr. doesn’t know what it could be. It really seems to worry him when it happens. Please help me if anyone knows about this or have experienced it. It happens usually when he tries to fall asleep.

    My husband does that too. It is called “Hypnic Jerk”. Now you can google it and learn more about it. There isn’t anything to worry about. It isn’t considered a dangerous condition.

    His MD needs to follow up more closely sounds like mini Seizures,something medication will take care of.
