muscle spasms occuring for short periods of time?

Question

these muscle spasms have been occuring in almost every part of my body and they are like small muscles flickering quickly for a few seconds and then they stop

this has been happening for a week or two

Answer 1

Common Causes:

Benign twitches (not caused by disease or disorders)
* Often triggered by stress
* A diet deficiency
* Drug overdose (caffeine) which leads to dehydration
* Drug side effect (such as diuretics or corticosteroids)
* Exercise

There is typically no treatment required. You can take a Potassium supplement which will help with the perfusion of the muscle tissue. Generally speaking, lowering your anxiety and staying hydrated will resolve the issue.

Answer 2

i get them too. i asked someone and they said it was unused energy in the muscles not being used so it has to get used somehow..or you are just sitting or resting on a nerve...maybe if it occurs consitantly yo ushould check with a doc. (like if it happens every 2 hours or somthing...)

Answer 3

That's very common. As long as they aren't happening everywhere at once. It generally happens in your arms and legs. Make sure your getting enough potassium, drink plenty of water, and do exercise. Other than that, don't worry about them.
