my friend of 19 yrs gets sometomes involuntary movements in left upper and lower limbs.. the limbs get medially rotated themselves for just an interval. frequency is near abt twice a week. i was really scared when i saw it happening becoz of hi face expressions. it generally lasts for about 2-3 seconds.It also occurs sometimes while standing up. please help and give some probable cause and treatment.
thanks a lot..

Maybe some form of seizures. Does he seem "out of it" right after these episodes? Has this been for the entire 19 yrs you've known him? Only a doctor and some tests can give you any real answers. Try WebMD.com

Does your friend have epilepsy? The contortions sound like muscle spasms. He could be having seizures or has a muscle related disease.
It's time for a full physical and testing by the doctor.

Your friend needs to see a Doctor right away.
This is a neurological problem and could be a warning of a very serious problem.

That's strange. Sounds like a question for him to ask his doctor.
Or go to a website like webmd. You can find answers for anything online.
