Question : I am feeling irregular inner mild vibration on my chest on right hand side. This is happening for the past few days. What could be the reason?

Brief Answer: These could be benign fasciculations. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms and would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about them. They are most probably benign fasciculations, which are caused due to excessive strain or physical work, and get exaggerated with less sleep. Symptoms would usually resolve with rest and no medications are required. If symptoms persist after a week or so, then, it would be better to get examined by a neurologist. I hope my reply has helped you. I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
