Flashes In The Stomach, Moves Across With No Pain. Occurs Anytime. What Could This Be?
What causes weird sensations of like the arthritis nerve pains felt infrequently all over hips & legs but these strikes have no pain. They are short & long & occur anytime, infrequently and in stomach area mostly. I repeat, no pain. It is hard to describe ----like a smooth vehicle moving through me. This is so hard to describe but the movement is always horizontal. Strange & they have been with me since 2012,

hi,
thank you for your query.
your symptoms point towards HypoCalcemia.is the presence of low serum calcium levels in the blood, usually taken as less than 9 mg/dl or an ionized calcium level of less than 4.5 mg/dL.
most common causes include-
Eating disorders
Excessive dietary magnesium, as with supplementation.
Prolonged use of medications/laxatives containing magnesium
hypoparathyroidism
Hypomagnesaemia
Defective Vitamin D metabolism
Deficient PTH
treatment for this is simple.
you just need to take foods containg good quantity of calcium.Many good vegetable sources of calcium exist, including seaweeds such as kelp,wakame and hijiki; nuts and seeds like almonds, hazelnuts, sesame, and pistachio; blackstrap molasses; beans (especially soy beans); figs; quinoa; okra; rutabaga; broccoli;
thank you,
wishing you good health
