A member asked:
Was in class when i got this weird twitching/spasm in the left base of neck and a bit up skull (small area). it fluttered & tightened for a sec? why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tired muscle maybe?: The most common reason for this sensation is a twtiching or fasciculation in the trapezius muscle. This one has fibers that cover this area, and it is often tired, especially after we flex our neck forwards to read or look at monitors.
