How do I stop my shaking or twitching? Is it a problem I should worry about?

Asked by Vincent_Lloyd (3007points) January 26th, 2011

So the main problem I’ve been having lately is that I’ve been having twitching or shaking issues all through out my body….It’s mainly when people maybe lie on me, or rest their head on my shoulder or something related to that (if you can sorta picture that) I don’t know what to do about it! It’s when ever they do that I sorta feel a weird twitch or something….But I don’t know what to do about…I have no idea if this is gonna be a huge problem when I grow up or if it’s just a problem I can’t control….I want to stop it. How do I? And also is this a bad thing for me? (I wonder if my ‘girlfriend’ ever wonders why when she’s lying on me or something….)

I’ve recently discovered that shaking like that can mean some neurological problems. See someone.

Could also have to do with nutrient deficiency, particularly electrolytes. Trying eating more potassium and magnesium.

You may simply be hypersensitive and you are just not used to being touched or held. It is more common than you think. Are you particularly sensitive to other things, bright light, heat, loud sounds??

Because both MS and MD run in my family, I was warned by my doctor to see him immediately if I started getting any symptoms such as shaking or weakness. Play it safe and see a doctor.

Personally, I get tics, twitches, and tremors in various places for various reasons. The most common cause (for me) is if I haven’t moved that muscle in a few minutes. I am somewhat hyperactive and literally cannot sit still for long periods… and five minutes is long. (Since cuddling with my wife normally lasts longer than that, I get twitchy then too.) And under stress, I sometimes get a nervous tic n the right side of my face.

I know for a fact that I have some neurological issues though, so that is what I attribute my twitchiness to. Your case may be different from mine though, so I am hesitant to say that it’s a neurological thing for you.

Without knowing what the cause is, there is definitely no way to stop them, and even knowing may not help. Sorry :(
