A member asked:

In the past i hav woke at night very sweaty, panicky with a tingling moving down body then full body convulsions but i was aware of surroundings.causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps: The answer involves a panic reaction syndrome, and be reassured that these episodes do not describe epilepsy. A simple drug called xanax (alprazolam) may nicely and fully prevent further events, but discuss with your doctor and explore various options.
