Muscle twitching is the result of minor local muscle contractions or the uncontrollable twitching of a single muscle group served by a single motor nerve fiber or filament.
Muscle twitches are minor and often go unnoticed. Some are common and normal, while others indicate a neurologic disorder.
Common Causes Return to top
Benign twitches (not caused by disease or disorders)
Often affecting the eyelids, calf, or thumb
Normal and quite common, often triggered by stress or anxiety
A diet deficiency
Drug overdose (caffeine)
Drug side effect (such as diuretics, corticosteroids and estrogens)
Exercise
Symptoms suggestive of a neurological cause of fasciculations include:
Wasting of muscle
Weakness
Other findings of nerve dysfunction
Neurological illnesses where fasciculations are seen include:
Chronic denervation of muscle due to disc compression of nerve exiting the spinal cord
ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease)
Spinal muscular atrophy
Muscular dystrophy

hi, She might possibly have some fleas on her, has she been dealt with these days? If that's no longer this then she might have developed an allergy to a minimum of a few thing. have you ever replaced her foodstuff these days? in fact there are lots of of issues one might desire to wager at. Why no longer telephone your vet, this does not fee something and the recommend might desire to be very functional. sturdy luck

Maybe it wouldn't be bad to pay a little attention when it actually happens....is it when you are stressed? relaxed? in social situation? working out?
Try to monitor your reactions and which are the situations it happens mostly. Then you fill in your post here with more details and maybe more people would have something incommon with it and share more narrow answers with you!
All the best!

Sounds like muscle spasms to me. Maybe you're overexerting yourself physically. If the problem persists and is bothersome to you, I'd suggest that you see your physician sometime soon.
Best wishes! :-)
