Twitching In Shoulder And Shocking Sensation From Shoulder To Chest. Should I Be Worried?
For a few weeks now, my shoulders have been twitching randomly. Every couple days, I will feel a shock like sensation starting from my shoulder muscle and across the upper chest. The twitch is powerful, and lasts only half a second at the most. I have never had these before; should I be worried?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The twitching and a shock like sensation can be due to nerve root irritation or electrolyte imbalance or vitamin B 12 deficiency. A simple blood test will help in proper diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
