Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

This can either be a generalized deficiency of Calcium and vitamin D causing muscle twitching, or it can be related to nerve compression in your wrist. So, you need to take Calcium and vitamin D supplements. You should consult a specialist to help free the median nerve from Carpal tunnel syndrome and do gliding exercises on the median nerve.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.
