Hi,
Thanks for using HealthcareMagic forum.
Muscle twitching is a benign, harmless condition. The cause is usually unknown. Sometimes it may be related to metabolic and electrolyte disturbances and rarely to a neurological pathology.
Do not worry. It should improve with proper hydration and destressing measures. Severe cases need a detailed neurological examination.
Hope this is helpful.
Wish you good luck.
Best Regards
