What Causes Muscle Twitching All Over The Body?

Hello, I had a question about muscle twitching. I have had random muscle twitching for the last three days straight all throughout my body. I m trying to figure out how to help these twitches stop but nothing has helped so far. I ve tried hydrating, drinking water and Gatorade, increasing potassium and magnesium as well... The only symptom is muscle twitching all over with no associated muscle weakness. How long should I let this go before making an appt? Of course Dr. Google makes me think this is als but I know that s jumping to conclusions...

Hi welcome to HCM

Dear ,muscle twitching is a very natural expression of body when its 3 basic factors - Vata ,Pita & phlegm are deranged because , some of the , essential ingredients are missing or over consumed in your diet .
.
Also happens due to dehydration .
In Ayurveda, muscles twitching or spasms are simply caused by vata dosha. Increased by mobile, rough or cold qualities, Vata makes a muscle hard and stiff, unable to relax and goes into a spasm.
When you experience a spasm or muscle twitchings , you can do Pranayam
Deep Breathing - Inhale - hold - Exhale - Hold 15 times
Do Kpalbhatti - Throw your breath out with force 50 times - only exhale
to increase circulation and help the muscle relax .
Massage with warm til or any oil helps increase circulation .

The alkaline property in milk helps pacify acidity in abdominal cramps. Besides, milk is also a good source of calcium, which helps muscles relax. Take a cup of warm milk with a level spoon of turmeric powder
at bedtime to help dispel twitching or acid irritation .

Ginger, garlic helps relax muscles and calms the vata dosha, relieving pain from the muscle cramps. You can use it for both smooth muscle cramps or skeletal muscle spasm. Take before dinner for 5 consecutive days. Odorless garlic tablets are also helpful but taking in natural form helps eradicate imbalance in Vata ,Pitta , Phlegm and gives relief from uneasy twitchings .
· . Taking a yogaraj guggulu tablet of 200 mg, 2 to 3 times daily for about a month will effectively pacify vata.

Hope this help solve your query
If your problem still persists , Consult a specialist .

Take care All the best .
