Hi,

I have also thought this aswell and the reason is that my symptoms seemed to show up all at once. I get a lot of muscle twitching and it is VERY annoying. For about 3-4 weeks I've had a twitch in one of my right quadricep muscles (left muscle closest to knee). It twitches all day, on and off and I think it might have something to do with tension. When your muscles are tense I think it also puts a little tension on your nerves and they can become compressed or trapped, or something. I also get twitching in my arms and calves, and get a lot of cramping in my feet and calves, too, which also requires very little tensing to induce.

Very interesting.

I eat 1 - 2 bananas every day with no benefit at all, so prob my Potassium is fine, might be something else out of whack though?

Anyone else?

RLR - any ideas?

Okay, it is extremely rare to have a potassium or calcium deficiency except in the presence of certain pre-existing disorders. Muscle twitches are extremely common in persons with anxiety disorder and known as myokymia. It is absolutely nothing to worry about.

Taking supplements will not reduce the phenomenon and it is more beneficial to stretch and exercise than to try and find a pill to make it go away.

Best regards and Good Health
