What causes recurring muscle spasms?
Patient: I have been having muscle spasms for over a tear. Within the last 4 months, they have gotten real bad, several each day and night. They are not in the same location every time, and sometime I ll have them in 2 or 3 different places at the same time. I ve not changed any medications lately, and blood work shows everything is normal. None of my doctors know why. Any ideas? Doctor: hello, Make sure that your doctors have checked your magnesium levels and potassium levels. Those could be supplemented if they are low. Three things you may try to improve this situation is making sure you are well hydrated (that means avoiding things like coffee and alcohol that are dehydrating), take a multivitamin/multimineral supplement daily and do muscle stretching daily (yoga is a good option).Regards
