Go to the doctor: Then you go to the doctor, get examined, and learn from them about your body and your health. None of us can advise you not to worry without examining you.

Nasty disorder: But a rather rare condition, and your twitches are very unlikely to represent any neuromuscular disease. If you are concerned about ALS, contact your doctor and explore why you are focused in this area. Maybe counseling would be useful.
