Last night about 2 am, my right index finger and thumb started twitching. i play a lot of video games. today it's only my thumb twitching. what is it?

Probably excess game: When twitcihing in thumb, it might occur for a variety of reasons, including overuse of the muscle from playing video games or texting, nutritional deficiencies, video game modules and remotes, cell phones and other electronic gadgets require unnatural and constant use of the thumb, irritating the nerves that control the thumb muscles. Other causes might include neurological disorders, side effects from prescription drugs, anxiety or a chronic state of tension.
