What Causes Shivering In Hands And Legs?
hi. im a 22 year old girl. i experience shivering sometimes in hand and legs when i lift heavy objects(even 3 kgs for 5 to 10 mins) or if i strain myself doing heavy work. when i consulted a nearby doctor, she prescribed me iron tonic, with iron+protein tablets since me Hb is 10.2. but i fear whether this may be a nervous problem. pls suggest me a solution

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM.
muscle twitches are normal after strain, threshold varies between individuals based on their fitness level. Your doctor was right prescribing iron based on Hb level and being a lady, plus you can add some multi vitamins with vitamin b complex in them but refer to your doctor always before taking any new medication even multi vitamins, and remember to drink enough water. i dont think its a nerves issue. hope that helped.
Best regards,
Dr. Nazzal
