Hi Punam,

Muscle spasms in various areas of the body can be caused by low magnesium and potassium levels. You can try the more bioavailable forms of magnesium such as magnesium glycinate, magnesium citrate or magnesium chloride.

Add too that foods rich in potassium such as these :

Try those for a week and if that resolves the issue, then you now know what is causing the muscle spasms and how to keep them away.

One other consideration is low calcium level, but you would be the best judge of whether you are getting plenty of calcium or not.

Lastly, if you are working or exercising in a hot climate and sweating significantly, that can help deplete the three items above.

I personally take Zincum Met 30c when my lip or eye starts twitching and it works like magic after taking it 1-2 times. Thing to remember: One dose is ONE pellet, not 5 as is says on the tube. But you can take 5 if you wish, no harm.

In very rare cases, it may be an initial symptom of multiple sclerosis (An autoimmune system in which the immune cells attack and damage the myelin sheath that covers nerve fibers).

Types

These spasms are characterised under two forms – typical and atypical form. These spasms are said to be typical when the spasm starts in the eyelid and afterwards spreads to the lower part of the face.
