What Causes Sudden Feeling Of Stiffness In The Body?

My mother , at 73 roller her eyes, hands stiff and stayed claw like. Her hand grabbed my hair and we could not pry her hand opened. She feel backwards, and was unconscious for 1 min. She woke, said she was fine and would not go to the hospital. She is now drinking alcohol and eating. I am concerned.

hi,

thank you for mentioning brief history of your mother. since she instantly clenched her finger and grabbed your hand which was tough to release i am concerned with this.you should meet up a neurologist and get check once. It looks like a Epilectic effect for time being which was of short duration. in the mean time please avoid alcohol. As she is aged she needs a proper attention as falls are good for her. I wish you meet up a neurologist and get check once. there is no harm taking an expert's advice as saftey is the first thing we all should see.

with the grace of God I wish your mom a good health.
