Leading Causes Of Muscle Twitches And Spasms

All Other Conditions

Many conditions may cause muscle twitches and spasms besides the ones listed. Magnesium and calcium deficiencies can also cause muscle problems, as can conditions such as kidney disease. Neuropathy, nerve damage, can also be a cause, as well as an autoimmune disorder called Isaacs' syndrome. Taking water pills (diuretics) for a variety of conditions can also cause spasms by an individual urinating a lot and causing an electrolyte imbalance. Muscle twitches in general mean there is an imbalance or medical condition that must be corrected or treated.
