is there a vitamin deficiency that could cause my eye muscle to twitch?

Question

Slight numbness and tingling in hands with on and off muscle twitching. Could this be vitamins d deficiency?

Answer 1

No: Vitamins are trace elements and are needed in very small amounts usually supplied with an average diet vitamin deficiency is relatively rare and I am not aware of muscle twitching being an important symptom.Anxiety is a more likely cause , !

Answer 2

Eye twitch and vita: There is no proven association with a vitamin deficiency and twitching of the eye muscles.

Answer 3

No: Not necessarily! you may be able to take some precautions to reduce your baby's risk of getting ear infections. Breastfeeding helps to decrease the risk by helping your baby's immune system fight off upper respiratory infections. Also, try to limit your baby from feeding while completely flat-try to keep him upright. Also, avoid smoke exposure. Lastly, limiting exposure to colds decreases the risk.

Answer 4

Yes: Maybe no, but more likely yes. Ear infections "run in families" because what makes a child likely to get ear infections include inherited traits such as: size & shape of the eustachian tube that drains the ear, size of tonsils & adenoids that affect the hole at the end of the eustachian tube, and how the immune system reacts to smoke/viruses/allergens. Sibs also live in a similar environment!

Answer 5

Indirectly: Prolonged exposure to high blood glucose can mostly cause nerve damage. One type is peripheral neuropathy which can cause numbness and tingling (painful), another is focal neuropathy which affects specific nerves. There are other types as well. Patients with high blood sugar also are at increased risk of developing tendonitis/bursitis/joint pain. These could indirectly cause muscle pain.

Answer 6

Dehydration: If you've become dehydrated as a result of chronically elevated blood sugars you may also need to consider how that could affect your muscle. Rhabdomyolysis can occur in people who are dehydrated regardless of cause. Patients will often notice their urine might have a brownish color to it. If you have muscle pain, please see your doctor. Other things also have to be considered.

Answer 7

Not aware: I am not aware that vitamin or mineral supplements help in ulcerative colitis.

Answer 8

Mucocele possibly: The bump on the side of your mouth might be a mucocele. It is a clear bump filled with salvia. Caused when the duct to a minor salivary gland gets clogged and the saliva backs up. Most common on the lower lip but can occur elsewhere in the mouth. Ussually resolve on their own. Some times large ones require surgical removal. Bumps on the back of your tongue are probably normal vallate taste buds.

Answer 9

Mucocele?: If it is on your cheek it might be a blocked or clogged salivary gland duct and the blister is just the fluid not having a duct to let it out. Saee your dentist or ENT to make sure.

Answer 10

Infection: You have a respiratory/throat infection. Could be viral and could be bacterial best to see a doctor. Other options to help with symptoms include taing elderberry, gargling with salt water or half and half peroxide and mouthwash (do not drink- just gargle) and a warm cloth around neck to hep with lymph glands. Important to rule out strep throat as that will improve with antibiotics.
