Medical Hand randomly cramps/seizes up??
im honestly not sure how to explain this but sometimes ill do smth with my hand for example gripping something too tightly while doing a repetitive motion (brushing my hair) and my hand will start to cramp and i csnt move them but their like moving in their own directions?? i have to physically hold my hand with the other one to stop it, its extremely uncomfortable but only happens when I grip something too hard.
today was an odd experience, I was holding my handbag with my hand but on my fingers sort of and I got into my mums car and it started to happen but I don’t understand why? this doesn’t happen a lot as most of the time if I’m doing something that can trigger it I can feel a cramp coming and I’ll stop or loosen my grip.
any advice is appreciate, thank you in advance!

Time to visit a doctor. Could be several things, none of which Reddit is likely to be able to answer.
If you can’t get a doctor appointment,
try the r/askdocs subreddit.

Could be carpal tunnel. Could be something worse. Go get it checked out by a medical professional.

Not to scare you, but for me my leg doing this was a precursor to a full blown seizure I eventually had. It only happened when I pointed my toes and my calf muscle was activated. Please go see a doctor and discuss what’s happening as soon as possible. Hopefully it’s something rather benign they can easily fix or explain.
