Abdominal twitches

2 replies

I keep getting weird nerve/muscle twitches in my abdomen. Some are low down and others are higher up. Also get some leg muscle twitches. What on earth could be causing it? I've had a fairly stressful couple of weeks, keep getting palpitations, have a hiatus hernia and suspect I'm low on iron (bloods being done tomorrow to check). I haven't mentioned the twitches to the gp as I was discussing something else last time I was there and forgot to mention it. I'll make another appointment for when my blood results are due I think but in the meantime, has anyone else ever experienced anything like this before? The twitches are freaking me out a bit. I've had a twitchy eye and lip before but they mostly pass within a day or so. I've had these abdominal ones for about a week now.

Low iron can cause twitching, as can stress, low vit D and low magnesium

Thanks, apparently my vit d and magnesium are ok (well they were back in April anyway) so perhaps it is low iron and/or stress.
