Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No this is not normal.
In my opinion, you should get done serum calcium level because hypocalcemia can also cause similar kind of muscle twitches.
If calcium level is low then you will need supplements.
Proper management of stress and anxiety is also important.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, with counselling and drugs, your anxiety, panic attacks and muscular twitches will reduce.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
