[|Human|] A few nights ago I woke up after sleing about an hr with possible fasciculations of my arms and legs for about 30 - 45 sec. I as on my side. I m not sure they were fasciculations because there was definite beating onto the sheet. This wasn t like the stiff movements I read about with epilepsy. I was conscious the whole while. So could this have been a focal seizure?
[|AI|]  Hello dear,First, please do not get concerned regarding the possibility of a focal seizure. The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to:1. Para-spinal spasm or entrapment of nerve fibers at the spinal region due to improper sleeping posture.2. Inadequate HY Chat Doctor.  Dietary deficiencies of certain nutrients like Iron, Calcium, vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Folic acid, etc. which help in blood formation & nerve conduction.4. Peripheral neuropathy caused due to any fluctuation in blood pressure/ blood sugar level. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of cervicogenic agents (like Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic acid) as well as multivitamin & multimineral supplements including iron, calcium & vitamin D needs to be added in your diet. Physiotherapy & postural exercise will also be helpful. If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Neurologist & get a complete Neurological examination done. Certain investigations like complete blood count, serum electrolyte estimation, fresh estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels & nerve conduction studies will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.X-ray & MRI of spine can also be carried out to detect any nerve entrapment. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
