As the title says. I go for a 20 minute walk and when I stop moving, I’m not feeling tired or even agitated at all, yet my legs feel like they’re pulsating in different areas, always near the skin. It’s not synchronised with my heartbeat. It stops after a few minutes.
Chat GPT says these are just muscle twitches caused by dehydration or lack of electrolytes. I’m not convinced. Why does it feel almost on the skin and not deeper in the muscles? Why do I feel it after a 20 minute walk that doesn’t make me sweat but I don’t feel it after a 40 minute leg focused workout??? Wouldn’t that be more strenuous on the legs?? Does this thing even have a name?
Thanks
Because it seems to happen as a consequence for the movement, and it’s consistent. My hydration levels aren’t. Regardless of how much or what I’ve been drinking, of how much I’ve been sweating, I still feel it. Also note I don’t feel it as much after doing an intense workout in which I sweat bullets. And I’ve never felt it if I’ve been resting the whole day even though I’m sure I must have been dehydrated occasionally on rest days. Also it feels more like something on the skin and not like a regular muscle spasm.
That’s just why I don’t believe it is dehydration, but you could be right, it could be dehydration.🤷🏼♀️
Dude just try drinking a big glass of water afterwards and see if it makes a difference. Repeat several times. Think of it as an experiment.
