Spasms
Spasms are contractions of the feet, toes, hands or thumbs and are sometimes experienced with muscle cramps, twitching, and convulsions. The contractions of the muscles can be aggressive.
Spasms in the legs, feet or toes are frequently accompanied by numbness, tingling or
a "pins-and-needles" feeling, muscle weakness, fatigue, cramping, twitching and uncontrolled, fast movements.
Common causes of spasms include:
Vitamin D deficiency.
Magnesium and Iron deficiency.
Hyperventilation (calcium becomes temporarily unavailable to the body during hyperventilation).
Hypocalcemia.
Muscle cramps, usually caused by sports or occupational muscle injury.
Parkinson's disease and other neuromuscular conditions.
Spasms of the hands or feet can be a significant early warning sign of other serious health problems, so it is important to seek medical attention.
