A member asked:
Do muscle twitches indicate potassium problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could but many other: Potassium is only one of the many salts in the blood that can be related to muscle twitching. There are neurologic illnesses than can cause it as well as psychological reasons. See a doctor if you are concern or it worsens or persists.
