Any of you get random muscle twitches?

[RapidSnail]

Particularly if you work out. I get periodic fasciculations in different muscles and right now I've had it in my right shoulder for about two days.

Edit - Is there anyway to stop them?

How often do you work out?

Do you stretch?

Depending on how you answer those questions it could be the reason for your muscle twitches..

 

[RapidSnail]

Five days.

Yes.

occasionally my forearm will twitch right in the bend of my elbow, but beyond that, no.

Enough potassium in your diet?

Not sure. I don't really keep track of that, but I doubt I'm get 4,000 mg's daily; maybe half of that.

I get them quite often. Always in different places too. Sometimes they last hours, I'd like to know if there's an explanation for that.

I get random muscle spasms every once in a while. I work out 2x a day 4 days a week.

 

[scorpmatt]

yes.

I dont work out as much as I should. but after a few days of working out, the muscles i worked on like to twitch. its funny at times, annoying at others.

It's just ur body saying, hello, you have these muscles that you just discovered, use them please.

yeah i get them all the time. i have for years, just like little tremors not more than an inch wide. and i'm only 18 and i work out 7 days a week.

Quite possible that insufficient potassium is the problem. Try including more in your diet.

I think they're caused by work stress and/or anxiety, but I'm not sure why they happen randomly and not all the time if that's the case.

I know from my personal experience that they tend to happen to me when i'm more exhausted.

More sleep FTW!

It happens in my eyes sometimes.

Why do you keep bumping old threads? Just curious.
