Abdominal muscle twitching

Introduction Abdominal muscle twitching, when a large amount of sodium salt loses the body's alkali reserve decline, it can cause muscle pain and paralysis, with the gastrocnemius and rectus abdominis most prominent, causing abdominal muscle twitching. When your body is not good, especially when you are tired, do not exercise at high intensity. Before the exercise, you must carefully prepare for the exercise. For the muscles that are prone to sputum, you should first do proper massage, and do not suddenly exercise intensely. When muscle spasm occurs, you need to calm down and not panic, and you should not be forced to exercise.

Cause

Cause

When a large amount of sodium salt loses the alkali reserve in the body, it can cause muscle pain, and the gastrocnemius and rectus abdominis are most prominent. When potassium is lost in a large amount, the main manifestations are decreased muscle tone, reflexes, abdominal distension, and arrhythmia. In severe dehydration, the effective circulation of blood is insufficient, the pulse is fine or unable to reach, the blood pressure is lowered, the heart sound is weak, the breathing is shallow, the urine volume is reduced or no urine, the blood urea nitrogen is increased, and obvious uremia and acidosis occur.

During the dehydration period of cholera, due to severe vomiting and diarrhea, the patient rapidly showed dehydration and peripheral circulatory failure. Mild dehydration only dry skin and tongue, eye sockets are slightly trapped, and there is no change in mind. In severe dehydration, there is a "cholera face", the eyelids are sunken, the cheeks are deep, the lips are dry, and the mind is indifferent or even unclear. The skin wrinkles and damps, the elasticity disappears, the fingers dry like a washing woman, and the abdomen is sunken like a boat.

Physical examination: the peritoneum is stimulated to cause abdominal muscle spasm, the abdominal wall is often very tight, and even stiff as a wooden board.

1. Consult a physician at the hospital for a thorough blood test.

2. Check your life and diet and the surrounding environment.

3. See if your immediate family members have similar situations. Diarrhea, hepatomegaly, retinal cyst torsion, watery stool, gastric wall muscle defect, gastrointestinal abnormalities.

Differential diagnosis

diagnosis

Abdominal muscles are as hard as wood, very typical, and are very different from other disease symptoms, generally not misdiagnosed. It can be a spontaneous abdominal muscle twitch, and there is still muscle rigidity during the intermittent convulsion. The peritoneum is stimulated to cause abdominal muscle spasm, the abdominal wall is often very tight, and even stiff and hard as a wooden board.

Diagnostic identification

Identification with convulsions, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, abnormal heat, doc hypomagnesemia (grass convulsion).
