What can cause sudden weakness and involuntary movements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some possible causes: Sudden weakness and involuntary movements could be caused by drug side effects, a stroke, a TIA. a seizure, MS, or an injury to the head. It would help to know if the symptoms affected both sides of the body or not. It would also help to know if the symptoms recur and how long they last.
