what causes muscles twitching??

[TechBoyJK]

im sitting here and my right arms lower tricept is twitching like crazy...

 

[RichUK]

First signs of an upcoming heart attack.

Unlucky, son.

 

[destrekor]

misfiring of nerve endings and neurons, I'd imagine.

seriously?

thats why im asking... its still twitching...

 

[Flammable]

have you ever tried stroking it with your fingernails? It makes them twitch

 

[Ultralight]

It means that that particular area is not getting enough blood supply and your circulatory system, particularly your arteries/veins, are contracting to create more blood flow. I'm serious.

too much potassium.

lol, I?m just kidding. :laugh:

It's probably a trapped nerve, it?s nothing to worry about.

odd i thought it was not enough potassium

Yeah same here.

Often, it has to do with water and metals balance. Mainly magnesium, potassium, and calcium. Sometimes sodium too maybe.. not sure on that.

You can have too much or too little. If you have been peeing a lot or drinking alcohol, you might be depleted a bit.

Usually not something to worry about.

Too much fapping?

well, maybe that's it. something about potassium though, hehe.

the reason I think too much potassium is that it is used in signal transduction. My reasoning is more signal transduction > overstimulation > twitchy.

could be wrong though.

maybe too much salt?

whoa whoa whoa. perhaps we should first address the issue of the OP's multiple right arms.
This problem may go deeper than we suspect

What did you find out when you searched google?

Both potassium and sodium are used in signal transduction. Sodium inherently wants to enter the cell while potassium inherently wants to leave it. When an action potential is elicited, sodium rushes into the cell, making the inside slightly positive (~+30mV). When the sodium gates are inactivated, the potassium gates open up and flow outside, lowering the number of positive charges near the plasma membrane in the intracellular fluid. The cell then hyperpolarizes momentarily and then then potassium gates are closed. Too much sodium = greater push of sodium inward = more positive cell potential, which could possibly (but doubtfully) cause misfiring. Too much potassium = greater push of potassium outward = more negative cell potential, which means the cell is less likely to fire. I have a physiology test in like 30 minutes about this so this is more like me typing a review for myself

I doubt it's a deficiency of either. It could just be faulty signals, fatigue-induced, vitamin deficiency, etc. You're not gonna die either way... lol. I would stretch it to see if it goes away.

So... is the OP any relation to Goro.... do we have a Shokan on these boards? hmmm

Eat a banana. Not a tummy banana. Not that there is anything wrong with that. If that's your thing. Not saying it is.

Damn tennis elbow...

*shakes fist*

OWWW....that hurt.

 

[AntiFreze]

its not always potassium. Stress and lack of sleep can cause it as well.

 

[lightstar]

muscle fatigue, sodium or potassium depletion, nerve problem

 

[blamb425]

Stress?

I witnessed one of my friends having a horrible seizure today on my bday Thread reminds me horribly of it


Hopefully he's better tomorrow
