What Causes Persistent Twitching Sensation In Arms And Legs?

For the past 10 days I have been experiencing muscle twitching in arms and legs. For the past 2-3 days some tingling started in lower legs and feet and lower arms and hands. I have been trying to stay hydrated. Something to note: I started ingesting a metabolic blend of Doterra essential oils on the same day the twitching started. I did stop that 4 days ago and still have the symptoms

Hi,

Muscle twitching can happen from many causes like electrolyte imbalance, stress, or poor sleep. I am not sure whether it is related to the metabolic blend. Try to have adequate sleep, relieve any physical or mental stress and have a healthy diet rich in green vegetables and fruits. Avoid caffeinated drinks and sweets. If no improvement in 1 week, kindly consult your doctor, as this needs evaluation for any electrolyte imbalance like hypokalemia or hypocalcemia.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
