A member asked:
If your body muscles are always contracting, what health problems long term could this cause? mental/physical?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you're referring to voluntary contractions of skeletal muscles,I can't think that there would be harmful effects long-term. Repetitive involuntary muscular contractions are abnormal and call for investigation as to cause.
