Question: Hi, I am a 24 year old, healthy male. I am 6’1, 190lbs and active. I exercise almost daily, and have for years. My entire life, I have gotten muscle twitches, and never thought anything about them. I’ve also experienced tingling in my legs occasionally after a long walk, on a hot day. Over the last year, I have started to pay attention to the twitches, as they have increased. I experience muscle twitches, or as I call them tics, almost daily. They are widespread, and bilateral. Most commonly in my thighs, hamstrings, calves, and triceps. They aren’t always long lasting, most of the time it’s like a single “hit” here and there, just enough out the day. Almost like it’s right underneath my skin. Other times, I may have a twitch in my trice that’s lasts an hour.

Possible contributors - I started dental school about a year and a half ago. This is around the time I noticed they were happening pretty much all of the time. I asked my doctor about it around 6 months ago and he said it’s likely stress.
I started taking a multivitamin, thinking it could also be a electrolyte or mineral imbalance, and that may have helped it some, but I honestly can’t say for certainty. It’s definitely not as bad as it was this time last year, but it’s still occurring almost daily definitely every week.

For more info - I have not lost any strength or muscle mass, in fact I’d say I have gained both. I haven’t noticed any serious complications that could be associated with these ticks/twitches, other than they are annoying and casual even more stress when you think about the possibilities it could be.

Just curious on some opinions into this.
