A member asked:

My body muscles use to jerk. is that a problem or problematic in future? what sud i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Physiological myoclo: Infrequent jerky movements are probably physiological nothing need to worry about. If it happens more often have it checked by a neurologist to rule out pathological myoclonus.
