Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Sometimes, I experience sudden jerks while sleeping that cause me to wake up as if someone has forcefully pushed me. What could this be? Please help.

Answered by Dr. Ashok Kumar

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The issue described might be related to the anxiety disorder problem you previously shared. This description underscores the necessity of seeking intervention for your emotional and mental well-being. I believe it would be beneficial to promptly get in touch with a psychiatrist, either through online or in-person consultations. Addressing your concern early on could potentially lead to resolution with the help of one or two pills, if appropriate.

Thanks and regards.
