Hello,
The commonest cause of twitching is benign fasciculation syndrome (BFS). Unlike ALS, in BFS, there is no thinning or weakness of muscles. Muscle twitching in BFS get worse with exertion and anxiety.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Sudhir Kumar
