Hi, My muscles freeze for a second or 2 after that it works normally. If I close my hands sometimes, I can t open them again and have to wait a few seconds. My legs sometimes freeze up when I m going up stairs. If I flex any muscles, my body will take a second to unflex.

Hi Gaurav,
Welcome to HCM. You may be having calcium deficiency. Consult a neurologist and get a thorough examination of your nervous system done to rule out any neurological pathology. Most likely every thing will be normal. In that case you may try taking one calcium tab. daily for one month and neurobion tab. one daily for one month. Neurobion is a combination of B Complex vitamins which help in the nerve functioning. Wish you all the best.
Hello.Welcome.Get yourself tested for Hypothyroidism,Serum calcium,Serum VIT D,Serum B12,Serum FOLIC Acid ,Hemogram and urine microscopy.Any deficiency subsequently found can be treated easily.Good luck.
The muscle spasms that you experience are usually due to momentary ischemic injury or electrolyte imbalance in your body. Taking some antioxidants or alanine supplements will help you. I will also encourage you to consult an orthopedician for proper examination to rule out any serious disorders.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal
