Weird, awfull surges makes me jerk my head

[kaj1]

I have these incredibly annoying jerks that I dont know if are seizures, because they end so quickly. Its practically every night when I og to bed. I jerk my head to the side, and they vary in "size". Sometimes they are big, and kinda starts in the upper stomach/lower chest area, and surges upwards followed by a twitch in the head. Feels almost like I am getting eletricuted but NO pain whatsoever involved. It also seems to affect breathing for a millisecond, and I feel that if I am midst swallowing, I cant make the swallow function if you understand?Its kinda like you get surprized you jump and get adrenaline feeling or butterflies in the stomach? But its over in a second. Just like woosh! Just dont feel right. Anyway- its not only when I am going to bed, it can occur when ever I am relaxed. Watching a Movie, in front of computer etc. I also seem to be tensing my stomach muscles while driving for some reason. Am I having a stroke, epilepsy or what the hell is going on??

Could be seizure-- simple or focal seizure. But if it's happening just before bed every night that's probably unlikely because seizures aren't usually triggered this way unless they are NES (which can feel like real seizures and people with epilepsy can have these as well). Unless your having it during the day it's unlikely to be a seizure. I know you're not on here to be told to go to the doctor but you need to.

I was thinking maybe some kind of compression on a nerve in the way you were laying but the pattern is a little weird for this and the absence of pain also makes this unlikely.
