What Causes Muscle Twitching In Body?
I have had a muscle twitch in the same spot for over three weeks now. Today I have another one in another part of my body. I have tried drinking more water, taking a calcium/magnesium supplement, anti-stress supplement, but nothing is working. I exercise 2-3 times a week, only drink one cup of coffee a day. I am under quite a bit of stress at work. I often don t get enough sleep, but even if I do, it doesn t seem to make a difference. I have had these type of twitches all my life, but the longest it s gone in my adult life is 2-3 days.

Dear patient
Most common cause of twitching is stressful conditions. You need to change working environment to get relief from stress. Sound and adequate sleep is definitely stress buster. Please take a visit to psychiatrist. Other cause is calcium deficiency but since you are ready taking causesalciumalciumalciumounalcium
