What Makes An Adult S Body Curl Inwards?

My son age 33 has been having random, infrequent episodes where his entire body curls inwards, lasting approx 30 mins. He has seen two neuologists and underwent nerve testing. Nothing was found and he was told he was very healthy. There is no warning as to when these episodes occur. It is debilitating at the time of occurance and with 3 young children he is concerned for their safety should he be driving or caring for his children. Help please.

HI
Well come to HCM
If the neurologist does not find any thing wrong then this is nothing to worry chances of functional condition is very likely and he can drive without the fear because such episode does not happen during the critical activity, if the symptoms persist then this need to be seen by the psychiatrist, hope this helps.
