A member asked:

I have been having muscle fasciculations for about two months what could be causing it. i was recently diagnosed with hypothyroid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypothyroid muscle: Changes can occur in muscle with hypothyroidism, often weakness, and fasiculations are possible. Once your blood levels of T4 are normal, this should go away. There are lots of other causes, and often this is a benign phenomena.
