What Causes Twitching Of Calf Muscles In The Night?

I am a 45 year old woman 58 kilos healthy and slim, but a bit stressed at the moment. I smoke occasionally (maybe once a week or fortnight) and drink a couple of coffees a day but no more. For the past 4 weeks I have had an intermittent throbbing in my right calf, I can actually see it twitching, but there is no pain. It is pretty much every night and a couple times a day too. Should I be worried?

Thanks for your query
After going through your query I think you are having had an intermittent throbbing in my right calf. In my opinion these pains are likely to be due to vitamins and trace element deficiency specially that of vitamin D. No need to worry you can take vitamin supplements. I empirically treat my such patients by:-1.EVION LC 2.VITAMINE D3(if it is low) 3.VITAMIN B COMPLEX AND VITAMIN C 4.CALCIUM 5.Mecobalmine You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
