instruction: hello doctor my 75 year old son started thursday night with these twitches and jerks he is battling a cold it appears with a runny nose watery eyes and sneezing no fever this has been the same time as these motor items have developed overall he has acted fine and there is no change in consciousness he was seen one month ago about starring spells but neurologists thought it was low risk for seizures we are not sure what these are he does them when at rest versus active playing or eating we want to try to get him in to the test but given the current situation we are hesitating to take him we need to do a sleep study is this seizure activity could it be related to cold could it be growth related he was just to pop and development is well above age group for mental and physical he does twitch and jerk as he falls asleep often also he is prone to crying and talking in sleep he is not screaming but enough to get your attention he is asleep when we check on him please help I have attached the videos
output: hello I passed carefully through your questions and reviewed your videos in the first video I cannot distinguish but the last video is very suggestive of seizures for this reason I would recommend performing an eg electroencephalography I understand the situation but I do not think that this is an emergency as these episodes are not so frequent they usually occur several times a day you can wait a month or two as the situation of coronavirus is more clear you should discuss with his pediatrician about this I do not think these episodes are related to a cold as he has no fever I would exclude any possible relationship to the cold I hope this helps
