Hi

Thanks for your query and Welcome to Healthcaremagic. I am Dr Akshay from Fortis Hospital, New Delhi.

Such symptoms can be due to Muscle fasciculations as a result of muscular fatigue since you have been regularly doing Gym. Also a neurology opinion needs to be done to rule any neurological cause for your symptoms.
Sometimes these symptoms can also be due to a vascular cause although it is rare.
So in my opinion kindly get a Neurophyisician consultation done so that required investigations and evaluation can be done.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance/SOS
You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.

Thanks & Regards
