I would like to hear if anyone has had a similar experience. My husband was sleeping in his chair. I was trying to get some breakfast ready and start waking him up. He started having some sort of severe muscle spasms. Would not talk, just sort of moaning, gripping the chair. I started holding him and comforting him. He starts crying to please help him. It's sort of like his body seizes up and he can't communicate. He tries to move but doesn't seem able to. He has had varying degrees of this before but probably not so long. He is settled again now sound asleep. So I was just wondering if these are some sort of fits and do they just get worse.
