What is meaning of fasciculation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The twitchies: A bit of a muscle contracts briefly apparently without the nerve stimulating it. Everybody gets these, probably from circulating acetylcholine, and they're usually a non-problem. If in the tongue or very prevalent, they are more worrismoe.
