A member asked:
Normal emg & bfs diagnosis. is there a way to stop or at least alleviate these twitches permanently? what is the effect of regular exercise? (m, 30)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exercise triggers: Exercise can actually be a trigger for benign fasciculations, especially weight lifting. Avoid stimulants, anything with caffeine to try to control symptoms. Occasionally, people feel better by taking calcium, potassium or magnesium.
