Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic
Muscle twitching is due to the electrolyte loss and dehydration associated with sweating when working in hot conditions.
Drink plenty of fluids and stay hydrated. You can drink electrolyte-containing sports drinks like Gatorade to help relieve the twitching.
Stay in cool temperature if possible.
