On BP medicine. Getting fluttering sensation in lower calf. Should I be worried?
Answered by
Welcome to Health Care Magic
In all probability, there may not be anything to worry.
The veins won’t cause this fluttering sensation.
A clot has already been ruled out.
Artery could cause this sensation. . If so, it should be constant – unlikely to subside.
Hence, it is most likely to be muscle twitching (fasciculation).
This happens normally in many people and there is no cause for concern.
Since you are taking HCT, have your electrolytes (especially potassium) checked.
Also a look at calcium, phosphorous and magnesium may give a clue in some cases.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck

MD I am about 15 weeks pregnant with a normal pregnancy. I have been experiencing fasciculation in my right arm off and on for almost a week. It's in the bicep and it is not painful nor is there any tingling or weakness involved. Is it common to experience such muscle twitches when pregnant? If so, is there anything I can do to try to prevent the fasciculation?
MD I'm a 37 year old male. 5'7" and a little overweight. I have been congested with hay fever and have recently developed twitching in the muscles under my eyes. For about two years I have been seeing a neuro for benign fasciculation syndrome (twitching all over my body, mostly my calves). Could the facial twitching be caused by the allergies or is it still likely BFS? Last year I had a clear c-spine MRI and an EMG.
