I'm having so much muscle spasming /twitching... It's like my muscles have there own pulse like I get it in my stomach too but it hurts... My muscles pulse so hard I move like in class my leg twitched nd I kneed my desk nd I rose from my sit.. Today my stomach pulsed so hard nd painfully I gasp nd jumped... Does anyone know if this has to do with lack of eating?

My Dr. Said muscle spasms could mean magnesium deficiency.

Potassium deficiency can cause painful muscle spasms. You need to get blood work done ASAP. Too low potassium will stop your heart without warning.

I'm not sure what causes that. But I've had the same issue before, but not as severe as yours. Well, I also have a tick disorder, so I don't know if that counts.

All I know is that its a REALLY bad sign and you should do to your doctor or local ER is needed.

Hang in there, hun

Could be vitamin/mineral deficiency and/or dehydration. Are you eating at all or even drinking water? I worry about you..

Why are you taking a medication you're not supposed to have? Sorry if this is too personal. I was just curious.
