Brief Answer:
You could be having seizures and the odd sensation could be an indication.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking me on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone very carefully through your query and understand your concerns. It seems that the odd sensation is an aura which precedes certain types of seizures, and the jerk itself can be a seizure activity. It is very hard to confirm without a proper clinical examination. You need to see a neurologist without delay. He will be able to assess you clinically and get you tested further. Blood tests will not hold a clue to your condition.

Let me know if I could help further.
