Should I Be Concerned About The Sudden Shakes In A Baby?

My 5 month old keeps pulling her arms to her chest and then her body shakes. It kind of looks like she gets a chill but there is no draft and it's warm in the house. She does it while sitting up, lying down and when I ho d her. Is this somethung to be concerned about?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. By what you quote I feel its jitteriness which is physiological in that age group. But I suggest you get back to me on health care magic with the answers to following questions -
1. Does she lose consciousness at that time
2. Does she develop bluishness of lips and fingers at that time
3. Does she have staring looks at that time
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
