Muscle twitching: Difference between revisions

'''Muscle convulsions''' can be described as an experience where bodily muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in an uncontrolled and uncomfortable shaking of the body.<ref>http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000021.htm</ref> Because a convulsion is often a symptom of an epileptic seizure, the term convulsion is sometimes used as a synonym for seizure. However, not all epileptic seizures lead to convulsions, and not all convulsions are caused by epileptic seizures.
