Twitching &amp; stress: this symptom is often associated with stress, anxiety, and/or lack of sleep. In the absence of any other symptoms (stiffness, twitching, weakness, sensory changes) this is likely benign. If it continues or if other symptoms develop as well, you should see your primary care doctor or a neurologist
