Suggest Cause Of Myoclonic Jerks In Upper And Lower Limbs
In recent months I have noticed myoclonic jerks in my upper and lower limbs. Recently the jerks have included my torso and occasionally my neck. I will see my doctor if the jerks increase in occurrence. Are there any other symptoms that may accompany these jerks that may indicate a more immediate doctor visit?

Hello,
As the myoclonic jerks are associated with the higher motor function of the brain and need an assessment. Usually, they do not occur without any kind of injury but abnormal physiological changes.
Getting a neurologist opinion is advised.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
