Brief Answer:
Supportive care

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

i read your question and i understand your concern. occasional twitching with no other neurological complaint or history is likely a benign entity and just needs some muscle relaxants with some rest. Difficulty in taking a deep breath should be evaluated . As it could be some form of dyspnea or merely psychogenic dyspnea as anxiety can cause it too. But no harm in getting evaluated for lungs functions, general assessment to sort out what could be causing this pain via deep breath.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Khan
