Twitching Of Vein In Left Chest Area, Started With Left Eyelid, Not Painful. Anything To Worry?
Lately, I have been experiencing twitching or throbbing of what I believe is a vein in my left chest area. Initially the twitching or throbbing began intermittantly in my upper left eyelid. It comes and goes for both areas. None of it is painful. It's more like contractions and it comes and goes. Sometimes more frequently than others. How concerned should I be?

Hi !
Thank you for your query.
Looking at you problem it appears as if you are having fasciculations or may be tics like involuntary movements . These movements can be benign and unrelated to any disease process or may be signs of some neurological disorders. You havent mentioned your age in your query which could have been helpful still, I advise you to visit a neurologist at earliest to sort out your problem .
If you have any further queries feel free to ask.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
