Hello and hope you are doing well.
Abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) are also known as 'dyskinesias'. Tremor, chorea, dystonia and myoclonus are examples of types of dyskinesia which have different mechanisms and modalities of treatment. The head jolts could be a dyskinesia, discuss this with your doctor.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
