Sporadic Twitching Of The Hand. Stroke Caused By Oral Medication For Acne. Had Poly Arteritis Nordosa. Need To Check Out The Twitching?
For the last week I have had sporadic twitching in my left hand . It happens mostly when it is not in use; either resting on something or while holding something still. I have a a stroke before that was caused by an oral medication I was on for facial acne. It was determined that I had Poly Arteritis Nordosa (PAN) but it has been in remission for the last 3-4 years. I haven t had any signs that may signal a stroke and I was wondering if the twitching was something I should be worried about?

Hi,
Thanks for the query
You need to be examined by a neurologist particularly because you have repository of PAN. As of now you need not worry.
Please get back if you need any additional information
Best wishes
