Involuntary muscle movement includes peristalsis in the GI tract and the beating of your heart. Generally involuntary muscles are smooth muscles (intestines, blood vessels), but the cardiac muscles are sometimes categorized as striated due to their structural similarities to skeletal muscles.

What cause headaches or migraines with uncontrollable body movement and seizure like symptoms?

Migraine does not usually cause uncontrollable movements or seizure symptoms. It is most likely that an epileptic seizure is causing the headache, which is very common in epilepsy patients. Some medications commonly used for Migraine can cause tardive reactions however, and these can include uncontrollable muscle spasms and movements without loss of consciousness. Tardive Dyskinesia and Tardive Dystonia are two examples which can become permanent.
