Muscle Tremors
Type: Symptom
Definition
Involuntary, rhythmic muscle contractions and relaxations.
Clinical Details
Magnesium normally acts as a natural calcium channel blocker, modulating muscle contraction. When magnesium levels drop, unchecked calcium influx causes resting muscles to become hyper-excitable and twitch spontaneously. These tremors can range from fine fasciculations to severe, disruptive shaking in the extremities.
