Are Moving Head To Sides And Shaking Legs Symptoms Of Periodic Paralysis?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? There was a concern that my 10 year old might have periodic paralysis, about 1 1/2 years ago. It has not been confirmed. This morning he woke up with his head moving from side to side for less than 30 seconds and his legs from knees down shaking. Never happened before. Is that a symptom? Previous symptoms was loss of muslce control in legs.

Hello,
It seems like an episode of fit. You need an urgent EEG test of the baby. And baby may need to put on antiepileptic after the results. Consult with a neurologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Hina Javed
