[|Human|] I am a 55 year old female, had auto accident 12 years ago. 5 and 6 disk were ruptured and surgery was performed on them. Now mri shows 3&4 bulging and 7&8 protruding into the sac. EEg shows I am having seizers and mri of head shows Mild nonspecific chronic white matter hyperintensities and narrow blood vessel. For the last 6mo every time I lay down my body jerks until I am worn out and I get very little sleep, also when I am really tired sitting up it also jerks and I am not talking about small jerks, it jerks so much at night my chest starts to hurt from it. After having my mri on my neck I was sent for physical therapy, was told by therapist that therapy would help my neck but I needed to find out what was causing the jerking, also said that my left are reflexes are hyperactive and my right arm has no reflex. My right foot also feels like electricity is flowing in it, but not my leg. I have been to a neurologist and was told the unspecified white matter is from migraines and my jerking is from anxiety and referred me to a Shrink. I don t understand why if it s anxiety it happens every time I lay down, day or night or when I am sleepy sitting up, I feel like they are missing something and this can t be anxiety. I was also told 2 1/2 years ago that I had a cyst in the gland that is in the center of your brain and there was room for it there, but was not mentioned on this MRI. Seeking answers!!! I also had a heart ablation done about a year ago because of frequent rapid heart beats.
[|AI|]  Hello, The bulging discs may cause pressure on your spinal cord in selective posture stimulating it leading to jerky movements in your body. Also depressed reflexes and electricity like feeling in your body parts suggest that the disc is impinging on your spinal cord. I will suggest you to meet or get an appointment to a neurosurgeon and take along your latest MRI of Brain and neck. The best test to differentiate it from a cardiac event is by doing a Holder study for 24 hours. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
