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 Hello. 43 y/o male having fasciculations for over 3-4 months now. They are widespread but with a hotspot on my left proximal forearm. My other symptom is occasional numbness on left leg. EMG done and the Neurologist said it was normal and told me not to worry about ALS. NCS also normal. MRI of the neck showed a bulged disk on C5-C6 and another partially bulged on c3-c4. No babinski, no hoffman, no weakness. CMP, Aldolase, CK, CBC, Magnesium, ANA all within normal limits. Does the symptoms are because of the bulged disk or do I have Benign Fas. Sindrome? Is ALS completely ruled out at this point? Thanks.
MD Hi, about one year ago, I was operated on for the second time for a bulging disc (L5-S1). Three months after the surgery, my calf muscles commenced fasciculating. This worsened up to a point where now I have to sleep with a brace in order not to wake up in terror due to extreme muscle cramp in my calf. A specialist diagnised this as BFS (Bening Fasciculation Syndrome) but I doubt this since sometimes it s better or worse depending on how much sleep I had etc... Could this be the result of scartissue irritating the nerve at the L5-S1 position?
