i was blow drying my hair, and my middle finger on my left hand, got really stiff and glued its self to my index finger, no pain i was more scared that it happened, this has never ever happened before, lasted probably 5 seconds, what the heck could have caused this, has this happened to anyone before, Sometimes i get cramps in my toes, and they lock up, but that is painful, this wasn't, just really weird, any suggestions?

  1. Well that happens to me sometimes... but its only when i try to push or do something too hard... I forget what it's called but I dont think its serious


  2. Cramping is sometimes caused by a lack of potassium. Try increasing your potassium intake via foods such as bananas, broccoli etc. Do not take pills unless you doctor does blood work first and suggests that you do.

  3. I would suggest getting a couple of blood tests to check your potassium and magnesium levels.

    Are you using any diuretics, laxatives, or diet aids?  This could cause electrolyte problems.

    Bu really, it sounds like a muscle spasm, and it might be reasonable just to make sure your electrolytes are okay
