Strange intense shivery like episode

If anyone can offer any smidge of support I’d be really grateful. My 2 year old came in on Tuesday evening after being fine all day at his grandparents, we took his pants and nappy off as we’re casually potty training right now and he sat on his potty and had an ice lolly, he finished his ice lolly and then started intensely jerking his upper body like a very very very dramatic shiver, each lasting 2-4 seconds and I think he may have done it 5-6 times over 15 minutes.

He stayed with us the entire time but they were such odd movements that we rang 111 who sent us to a&e, we managed to video some of the episode and the dr was super unbothered and just said it could be nothing and they wouldn’t do anything unless similar happened again. I managed to claim through my private health insurance and we’re seeing a doc on Tuesday as I can’t stop worrying. I’m over analysing his every move and feel like I’m finding all sorts of problems now which I doubt I’d have even noticed prior to Tuesday.

Has anyone ever been through similar?
