Rationale for change

Pt in QID presented w/ pins and needle sensation in face and feet as well as mucle cramps

Pt has hypocalcemia

Text
Hyperreflexia, spontaneous twitching, muscle cramping, tingling, and numbness are signs of which calcium imbalance?

{{c1::Hypocalcemia::Hypocalcemia or Hypercalcemia}}
Extra
- Decreased extracellular Ca2+ lowers the threshold potential (makes it more negative), making it easier for cells to depolarize to threshold and increasing action potentials fired (threshold potential is closer to membrane potential)

- Early sign of hypoparathyroidism; especially perioral symptoms
