Hand movements and epilepsy Posted: 05-21-08 09:18am
Hello,
I dont knw if you can help me with this or
if it is something to be worried about but
I am very curious to know what may be a
possible problem if this is a problem.
Epilepsy is known to run in the family way
back but I dont think it has anything to
do with it but I thought that I would
mention it. The problem, if a problem is
that I get over-excited about things and
my arms go into a kind of like bird flying
or air drumming motion and I drift off
into my own world getting over-excited
about even something very little like a
movie thats to watch or something I just
though about that was good etc etc. I dont
know if this is anything but it would be
great to know just incase it is something
to worry about or just to know what it is
would be great, i do this offten but i can
contol when I do it I guess, i just dont
get too excited then i dont do it, but if
i get to excited arms go again... please
help thank you.

Because you can control those hand
movements when excited, it is likely they
represent only a habit and not a
neurological disorder.
