Get an evaluation: Nervous twitching needs to be evaluated. It may indicate a toxicity from medication or from other toxic agents or may be the early signs of a serious disease. Your metabolism may be off. You need a thorough medical evaluation and perhaps a referral for neurological consultation.

Fasciculations: Usually these are benign fasciculations but other causes are possible. Should be evaluated by a neurologist. A test called an EMG can be performed.

Check neuro status: Get with a doctor that is board certified by the american board of anti-aging and regenerative medicine as I am and check vitamin levels, check hormonal levels and check for neurologic disease then supplement with the right vitamins (www.Wellnessplus.Org) and, if needed, bio-identical hormones for optimal levels and health.

Get seen: Usually this is due to an electrolyte imbalance, hyperthyroidism, low iron, medications, caffeine, stress, lack of sleep or some combination of the above. Benign fasiculations are possible. More scary neurological conditions involving twitching normally don't start everywhere at the same time.
