Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. It is likely that you have electrolyte imbalance as a result of which you are getting the twitches. I would insist you to take juicy fruits like citrus fruits, and bananas. They contain plenty of potassium and should provide relief.

Feel free to write back.
