Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The symptom he presents could be caused by a number of medical conditions.Some of them may include:
-Ionic imbalances like low calcium, low magnesium
-Vitamin deficiency
-Dehydration
-Neurologic disorders
-Stress
I will suggest you try the following:
-Rest well
-Eat well and healthy with enough green vegetables
-Regular fitness exercises
-Take enough fluids
If the problem persist, you see the Doctor for investigation.Test like a full blood count, blood sugar test, serum electrolytes, ERS, vitamins levels may be useful.The final treatment will be to correct the underlying cause.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
