What Causes Involuntary Muscle Movements In Hands Of A Child?
My 10 year old son experiences involuntary muscle movements in his hands when he is excited (watching sports events, telling an interesting story). He was a high toe walker as a child and used to have grimacing in his face, flap his arms and contort his back...now it is only his hands. If there are no treatments, I d rather not put him through the feelings of having a disorder. Thoughts???? What could this be?

Hello,
Involuntary movements of hands can occur in calcium deficiency or multivitamin deficiency. Kindly check vitamin B12 levels in child and calcium levels in child. An examination by doctor should also be done so that we may not miss any important finding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
