jerks and twitches when meditating
Posted: Fri Jun 14, 2019 12:22 am
Hi folks,
I started using Headspace a year ago or so & It's been going well.
However, lately whenever I start my meditation and focus on my breathing movement, I usually notice little jerks/twitches happening in my right elbow after a while (like my right elbow and hand literally jump for a moment, sometimes both hands) & it feels weird to have these uncontrolled movements... I also feel tension in my hands afterwards for like the rest of the day. When I began meditating last year, none of these things would happen !
Is there any scientific explanation as to why it might be happening ?
Also, Can this somehow be a sign of a more serious health issue (seizures or some other health issue) ? I'm starting to get worried about this, as its becoming more & more noticeble and frequent..
Best Regards to all of you, keep up the good work
