What Causes Muscle Spasms And Weakness In The Body?

I have a friend who is experiencing muscle spasm and body weakness. It was also found out in her Throat Xray that she has spasm and the rest of her tests are normal. I want to know the causes of her muscle spasm and body weakness and the interventions that is good for her.

Hello,

I would suggest you test the electrolytes in the blood because sometimes the low levels of potassium and increased levels of sodium can cause muscle spasms.

This is mainly caused by the usage of diuretics. She can use a K sparing diuretic.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
