@drjoe_md: During severe anxiety or panic attacks, hyperventilation can actually change your blood chemistry enough to make nerves become electrically overactive. That’s why some people develop tingling around the mouth and hands, and in more severe cases, actual hand spasms called carpopedal spasms. #anxiety #panicattack #MentalHealth #medicaleducation

It can also be from low calcium. I have hypoparathyroidim. Didn't find it for 5 years of these cramps multiple times a week

I had this happen to me but when I was in labor. However, it was early on, I was administered pitocin. Would that have been the culprit?

Sheesh. I’ve never heard of this before! I can’t imagine being so anxious this happens then dealing with the anxiety of not being able to move my hands! I’m glad you told us about this….

My son has a fear of blood. when he has a nosebleed, his hands tightened up and his mouth went numb. I just did my best to help him slow his breathing.

Omg!!! I can’t believe I found a dr that gets this. I have severe anxiety when having an attack my toes and inter costal muscles under my rib seize up. It’s literally one of the most painful things I’ve ever experienced in my life, especially the intercostal muscle thing. It’s like I’m being stabbed in the ribs. And no one believes me.

Crazy thing happened to me: I had alcohol one night and the next day I took dramamine due carsickness. A few hours later my hands looked exactly like that. Could this be related? I had no anxiety whatsoever tho. I totally forgot about that event till I saw this video 😳
