Had a clean emg on right side body, but twitching is more active on left. the right side twitches as well, just less. is this enough to say no als?

ALS is not likely: ALS diagnosis is unlikely. 'Twitching' is the least specific symptom and if there are no other symptoms, the diagnosis could not be made at this time . The normal EMG and your age further suggest that this is not likely ALS. If you have symptoms besides the twitching, consulting with a neurologist would be suggested
