What Causes Twitching In The Fingers, Hands And Arms Of A 55-year-old Woman?

Hello, just started noticing little uncontrollable tremors or little twitches, usually in my fingers, hands or arms. I m age 55, am a little hypertensive with some arthritis, who s also lately started falling more often... but the twitching is becoming more noticeable and I m just wondering what it might mean? Thanks, Lisa

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In my opinion increasing tremors with imbalance could be due to cervical spondylosis with pressure on the verves. The area of sensation will determine the nerve involved. I recommend you start anti vertigo treatment in the form of tablets , along with a combination of pregabalin and methycobalamine. I suggest you get X ray of neck to see the spondylotic changes.

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