Hi my name is Vanessa and I ve been having twitching in my calves for about a month now and it s consistently throughout the day and sensation of something crawling just beneath my skin... my legs have always been sensitive to the touch but never had the twitching or crawling sensation. Should I be concerned?

Dear Vanessa

Hi welcome to HCM

Muscle twitching is a very natural expression of body when its 3 basic factors - Vata ,Pita & phlegm are deranged because , some of the , essential ingredients are missing or over consumed in your diet .
No drugs, supplements, or other treatments have been found that completely control the symptoms, unless modify your food habits and life style
However, often the most effective approach to treatment is to treat any accompanying anxiety.
In cases where twitchings are caused by magnesium deficiency, supplementing magnesium can be effective in reducing symptoms.
