Why do some of my muscles twitch the day after a night of drinking beer?
Alcohol is a diuretic.... it dehydrates you. Hangovers are a mix of leftover alcohol and lack of hydration. Drinking water of course will help. Even better would be something with elctrolytes like Gatorade or Powerade. Youre muscles twitch due to dehydration. I notice the same problems after I drink or when I have lots of soda and no water. Hydrate yourself before or after a binge and that might help a bit. But to play the responsible person card... there's a reason you have hangovers and why you are dehydrated. Alcohol isn't good for you... period. People recommend wine due to the tannins in it. So moderation is key.
I am 23 and I have muscle twitching all over the body. What could it be?
Firstly, I am not a doctor, nor a dietitian consequently this is not medical or professional dietary advice. Secondly, I agree with the other posters that you should go see a medical professional for a proper evaluation. Perhaps start with your GP.However, all that said, I am posting an answer simply as I’m familiar with one or two possible benign reasons you may be experiencing twitching (called fasciculations in medical terminology), as I’ve from time to time experienced this myself, and you can easily check whether the same may apply to you also.In short the possibility that I’d like to raise is that you may be magnesium depleted. Low magnesium can give rise to fasciculations and if more severe, muscle cramps.In the early stages of my journey of keto adaptation I was at one point rather mineral depleted and one of the side effects was a fairly noticeable increase in fasciculations and an increased propensity for cramps.Eventually I worked out what was going on and increased my magensium intake, which stopped them virtually overnight and eliminated cramping issues entirely. Another thing that can play into this is lack of sleep.So the bottom line: Ensure you sleep enough and eat a healthy diet (which is basically to say, ensure you’re not mineral deficient.)My thinking is simply that increasing your sleep and taking a magnesium supplement for a couple of days is harmless and easy enough to try, before you perhaps resort to other options to get to the bottom of the problem.Note that not all magnesium supplements are created equal. Avoid magnesium in the form of magnesium oxide as it’s the least bio-available form of magnesium. Better would be magnesium chloride, magnesium glycinate (sometimes called “chelated magnesium”) or magnesium citrate. When considering a magnesium supplement, check the label to figure out what type of magnesium compound the supplement contains. You could also consider topical magnesium rubs as magnesium is well absorbed via the skin as well. Note also my suggestion assumes you have no medical issues that would preclude you from taking a magnesium supplement; if you do, or if you’re unsure you should see a medical professional.
I have twitching and cramping and shaking and vibrations inmy body etc what is this?
If you've had an emg, does that mean you've seen a neurologist? If your neurologist can't figure out what's going on, take your emg results to a good neurologist for a second opinion. I'm not sure of the best way to find a good neurologist, but I suggest asking older people if they know one, particularly a good diagnostician. Maybe you could call the nearest ALS Association (see below) and ask if any of their members can recommend one. The fact that your EMG is clear gives me hope that you don't have ALS. If you see the website below, that's one of the screening tests. It also says that you should have a CT scan and/or an MRI. But first, have a long talk with your pharmacist about whether you're taking any drugs that can cause tremors. I'm not a medical professional, but I care and I wish you many years of good health.
What causes a muscle cramp?
oh ya, i also take magnesium supplements, calcium, b1, and multi b vitamin. but i hadn't taken it recently. I didn't feel thirsty at the time though, so I don't think I was dehydrated. must be vitamin definciencies. my teeth and gums are hurting now too. dang health.
Possible Causes for Random Muscle Twitches All Over My Body...?
I have a long history of "migratory paresthesias" as my neurologist refers to them. When I was around 14 years old I started getting strange sensations all over my body. I would feel numb & tingly, or like my limbs were heavy and harder to move for no apparent reason. I had an extensive work up including an MRI, Spinal Tap, EMG, & various bloodwork tests. I even took a psychological test to determine how susceptible I was to "the power of suggestion" to rule out if I was a hypochondriac (from what I understand) and it came back normal. Anyhow, an explanation for my symptoms was never given. They seemed to dissappear for several years, and then come and go. It mainly involves weakness on the right side of my body. I can still move fine, but my right arm and leg feel weaker and heavier to move. I have come to terms with the fact that I will probably never get an explanation for this symptom, but recently, I gave birth to my first child. He is seven months old now, and ever since I have been getting random muscle twitches all over my body. I have been following up with my neurologist and had another MRI & EMG to rule out diseases like Lou Gherig's/MS. Ironically, my mother was recently diagnosed with MS in the last few years, but, as the doctor stated "You look good on paper", and there is no evidence of any neurological disease. They have put me on Clonazepan 3X a day which seemed to help at first but lately the twitching is getting worse, even after the dose was just increased a month ago. Though my symptoms do not limit my abilities to do anything at present, they are an annoyance and scare me, particularly since my mother does have MS. Does anyone know what might cause these random twitches/spasms? I was checked for a magnesium deficiency and was told this was not the problem. Are there any other woman who have experienced these twitches after having a baby? Any advice would be much appreciated. I do follow up with my neurologist every few months, so I feel at this point it would be pointless to make yet another appt to go in if I can get advice from anyone else who may know the cause of my "twitchiness"....Thank you!
Why do random parts (muscles) of my body pulse/throb/twitch randomly and how can I stop it?
Muscle cramps, twitches, spasms amongst others can be really annoying.These are all involuntary muscle contractions either of an entire muscle or perhaps just a part of it (some fibres) caused either in the muscle itself of by the connecting nerves.There are several factors which can make you more prone to suffering from these twitches.What may cause muscle twitches, throbs or spasms?Low levels of vitamin DFish - Liver - Egg Yolks - Milk - YoghurtLow CalciumMilk - Cheese - Dairy - Nuts - Bread - FishLow MagnesiumGreen Veg - Fruits - Nuts - SeafoodLow PotassiumPotato, Beans, Yoghurt, Fruit, Spinach, PeasDehydration! (lack of water)Some food sensitivity!Exercising too hard!I cannot say exactly what the cause might be, but worth reviewing your current dietary nutrition.If you are on some specific fad diet for example, you could be missing out on important nutrients!The other common thing is just plain old dehydration! Do you drink enough water (on it’s own) throughout the day?If this has been continuing for a period of time, and none of the above fit, then have a word with your local GP to discuss possible causes.Do let us know when you find out. Good Luck.
How can you prevent muscle twitches after a workout?
Muscle spasms occur when your muscles contract involuntarily. This occurrence can be both painful and alarming, especially when you have just finished an exercise routine and may be concerned that you have experienced a muscle injury. While not typically cause for concern, muscle spasms can indicate the need for improved muscle conditioning or nutrition before and during an exercise session.CAUSES:Muscle spasms that occur after exercise tend to have two chief causes. The first is muscle fatigue. If you are resuming an exercise program or sport after a break, your muscles may not be prepared to work at the level they were previously capable of sustaining, which can result in overload and spasms. The second cause is dehydration from lost sweat during your exercise session. Along with water, your sweat contains sodium, a mineral needed to keep your muscles functioning properly. If you lose too much water and salts through sweat during your exercise session, you may experience pain.PREVENTION:If you have experienced muscle cramps in the past, take preventive measures before future exercise sessions. These can include drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day and increasing your fluid intake before, during and after your workout. If the temperature is very hot or you know you will be exercising intensely, try drinking an electrolyte-containing beverage, which has salts that can help to replenish lost sodium. A good five- to 10-minute stretching session following your warm-up can help to loosen your muscles. You also should stretch after your exercise routine.TREATMENT:If you do experience post-workout muscle spasms, take a few extra moments to stretch the muscle. This can help relieve tension and tightness that can result from cramping. If you are currently experiencing a spasm, a heating pad also may soothe the cramping muscle. However, if you are dealing with soreness after a spasm, ice is a better anti-inflammatory choice. Continue to drink water or electrolyte-replacing beverages after your workout to ease dehydration. Taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, also can help reduce pain and inflammation after the muscle cramp.Source: LiveStrongPeaceout!
