Shaking while sleeping
My husband, aged 25, suffers from an unknown problem which occurs only during his sleep.
He mentions that he feels paralysed during sleep and is unable to wake up or move any body part despite constant attempts to do so. He feels tired after getting up with mild headache sometimes. What is more horrifying is that I have seen him struggeling to get up during these attacks and he shakes his head in a periodic manner raising it up as if he is getting up. Can this be a type of seizure or an epilepsy. I am very afraid. Doctor please lend some valuable advice so that we can start correct treatment.
