Suggest Remedy For Recurring Muscle Twitching At Night With History Of COPD
I am a 74 yr old man with COPD and taking numerous pills. Muscle twitching in the night only. no pain, but a need to move my arms to release the spasm afterwards. not quite pins and needles, butgoing that way. wife s email address as i don t have one.
You are having twitching due to electrolytes imbalances and that may be due to calcium or magnesium. I would recommend you to start supplements for these two in tablet or syrup form and after 15 days if symptoms do not settle then get your blood tests done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
