Mom & i both have lots of muscle spasms. name of hereditary illnesses like that? we both have a lot of oa. i have cerv. spondyl., she: stenosis/kyphos
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle spasms: Familial causes I have seen relate to low blood potassium. This includes familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis-often comes on with sugar load. Primary aldosteronism can be familial and can cause this. If you K has ever been low then tell your team to consider these.
