What Are The Reasons For Getting Involuntary Shakes At Night?

Sometimes at night, while in bed I get involuntary shakes or spasms, mostly of the head & neck area. It seems to happen most often when I am stressed about one thing or another. If I get up and go read a book and get my mind off my problems, it seems to go away.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Involuntary movements are anxiety symptoms. May be you are tense due to some reason. There is nothing to worry about them. Better to do some relaxation exercise that JPMR that would help to keep anxiety in control and relax your body. In case, you need any medication, you can consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment.

Thanks
