Frequently i get a single involuntary jerk in my lower back when laying down, causing me to see white n black geometric like patterns when my eyes are shut, no pain n not the same as hypnic jerk which i have also experienced. what could cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing serious: Jerking of various muscles when falling asleep is common and harmless. The cause is not clear. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
