Mom reports that he has had a three day history of increase in "jerking episodes." Mom reports that whenever pt falls asleep or is quickly aroused or hears a loud noise, he has jerking with flexion of one arm extension of the other arm. Mom reports that previously she noticed this and was very normal, but in the past three days he has more of these responses and they seem to last longer than before. In the past 24 hours, mom became very concerned because she said her son is "lethargic" and acts as if he is in a "drunken stupor."
