Muscle spasms / Twitching (Neck,head)

[matty815]

Hey guys,
so since about Monday, after doing Shrugs.. i Noticed a pronounced head twitching or neck spasm...

Its hard to explain, Basically if i was too look straight at you, and think about this twitching problem, my head will jerk to a locking point, whether its left,right, up or down.

My gf says she doesnt notice it, nobody else but me notices it but its extremely anoying, it feels like the muscles at the base of my skull, behind my head are Tightening up in different areas causing my head to move in that general direction..

Its made me very self concious to the point where going to the gym yesterday was an anxiety nightmare, and the more i think about it the worse it is.

I remember looking back on it, on occasion this "head twitch" would happen one time or so during a typical workout , but so rare i didnt really pay attention to it.

But now its getting kinda out of hand, i Bumped Magnesium intake, and that seemed to help a little, now the movements are smaller, and less pronounced to me but still happen and alot more consistantly.. (Again i think thats because im thinking about it 24/7 now as opposed to sometimes like earlier in the week)..

Anyone experience anything like this before?,
ive lowered my Tren down and stimulants down to lower anxiety and thats helped a little too but i have no idea what the root cause is. No pain involved just involuntary tiny movements.
Any help would be fantastic.

There are Lots of nerves running around that area bud. My guess would be that your straining something doing the shrugs. Try not doing them as well as really pay attention to any workout that you strain your neck on. You may not notice it but I see folks putting a lot of strain on the neck when doing all sorts of movements.

sounds like involuntary spasms. have you tried massaging the area? should help some

If there's no pains, it might not be a nerve-related issue. Try alternating heat and cool to help the muscles loosen up. You might just be facing muscle strains from hitting them hard. Increase potassium and BCAA's. This usually helps. if it's really bad, I sleep with an icyhot patch on areas like that with a heat pad sitting on the affected area.

I have small spasms regulery, to much sweating and h20 can cause an electolite imbalance, try gatorade or such.
