Why does my head shake uncontrollably when I'm tired?

[FranceFries]

Every night when I am sleepy out of nowhere my head and arms shake. It all started after I had some illness where I threw up and had a painful stomach ache and the night before just and only my head was shaking violently and I couldn't stop it. That was 2 months ago and I want to know what causes this? My family doesn't want to take me to the doctor because they don't think it's that big of a deal but it's annoying and I'm a little bit worried.

Go to the doctor...

We are not medically trained, but people who have a brain injury so we cannot suggest a diagnosis. Your shaking head could be due to a variety of causes but you do need to be checked out by a doctor especially as its continued for 2 months. By brushing it off as nothing to worry about is not a good idea.

this, that does sound like a doctor job.

no matter how much

you love your family, you get your ass to see your gp.

my hands shake because i have epilepsy, my neurologist doesnt like the epilepsy tablets im on and she is going to chang them.

the only way the docs are going to know whats going on is to give you a scan, if youre looking at this now, i suggest you visit your local a and e
