Hi and welcome to HCM.
First it can be sign of some mienral and vitamin defficiency. In first case, calcium, magnesium and Vitamin B12 so you should try first with these supplements.
Second, it can be some neurologic disorder such as neuropathy or methabolic neuropathy. YOu need to do electromiography and scan of your cervical spine. adn see neurologist. Till that try to take B vitamin supplemetns and magnesium.
