Painful spasms differential diagnosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I can understand your concern. PTBIS usually manifests as confusion, memory problem, disorientation, tingling sensation in limbs, headache, irritability, tinnitus. The hand muscle spasms are usually not found in PTBIS.
The persistence of such spams for 30 minutes is alarming. You should consult a good neurologist for complete examination of your neuromuscular system. The probable diagnosis of spams
- Calcium deficiency
- Seizure disorder
- Myopathy
- Panic attacks
- Cervical spine disease with cervical myelopathy
- Foramen magnum tumor
You need Some investigations like
- MRI brain and cervical spine
- NCV and EMG of upper limb
- Blood calcium level
These investigation will help you in reaching at some conclusion. If everything turns out to be normal, consider consulting psychiatrist for anxiety-panic attack. In panic attack, hyperventilation can cause hand muscle spasms.
Hope it will help. If any doubt, do let me know.
Thanks. Take care.
