Patient's question:
What is the reason for the twitching of hands and feet when children sleep? It has been happening for a month.Doctor's answer:
In the early stages of mild or moderate calcium deficiency, the main symptoms are psychiatric manifestations, such as irritability, ignorance, crying, and temper tantrums. Insomnia, such as difficulty falling asleep, night sweats, early awakening, crying after waking up, excessive sweating unrelated to the climate (i.e., sweating even when the weather is not hot, not wearing too many clothes, and not sweating), because the sweat is itchy, the child likes to shake their head when lying down for a long time, and the hair at the back of the head is worn down, resulting in baldness. When these symptoms are present to some extent, it is considered calcium deficiency. If only sweating occurs, it cannot be diagnosed as calcium deficiency.
