Muscle twitch – palm

[Bernadette_Abraham]

Hi @Vidu – muscle twitches that come and go in the hand are often linked to electrolyte or mineral imbalances. But there can be other reasons too like overuse of the muscles in the hand, stimulants or dehydration from too much caffeine intake, pre-workouts or not drinking enough water during the day for example. High stress or lack of sleep can also lead to muscle twitches if the nervous system is in a heightened state.

Do any of these possible factors resonate with you?

If you’re concerned and would like to get some testing done, here are some markers you can request:

-RBC magnesium

-Electrolyte panel (sodium and potassium)

-Vitamin D (low levels can affect neuromuscular health)

-Vitamin B12, folate (these affect nerves and muscle control)

-Full thyroid panel (TSH, Free T4, Free T3, revere T3, anti-TPO, anti-TG)

-Fasting glucose, fasting insulin and HbA1c – to rule out glucose/nerve issues

In the meantime, make sure you’re drinking enough water and consider increasing magnesium-rich foods (dark leafy greens, nuts, seeds) or a gentle magnesium glycinate supplement, as well as potassium-rich foods like coconut water. Also make sure you’re salting your food with sea or Himalayan salt (if no contraindications). You can find more solutions for magnesium here, and for potassium here from our Mineral Balance course.

That should hopefully resolve the twitches, but if not, keep us posted and we’ll help you get to the bottom of it.
