Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to writers cramp. A seizure can not be excluded either or anxiety. For this reason, I would recommend trying to video register these episodes when happen and show them to a neurologist. Some tests may be needed:
- An EEG
- Complete blood count
- Blood electrolytes
- Vitamin D plasma levels for possible deficiency.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
