Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This is quite a rare thing to have.
This may be a muscular twitching. The cause is not known. And there is no definite treatment.
It would be better to be seen by a Surgeon, who would rule out internal problem by clinical examination and may be some investigation if he feels so.
Also check for serum electrolytes , as dis-balance may cause such feeling.
Occasionally medicines alike amitriptilin may help , but you need a prescription for this and such medicines from your Doctor.
