Brief Answer:
You should see a Neurologist for these issues.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.
I have read your query.
It may be a neurological issue and seizures ( partial seizures ) should be evaluated further in your case.
If these body jerks are triggered by certain body positions or movements, inner ear dysfunction should also be considered.
In my opinion, you should see a Neurologist for these problems and get evaluated further with brain MRI and EEG.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
