Dr. John Goldman answered

Benign fasciculation: Benign fasciculations can occur anywhere in your body this is what you described. Fasciculation sometimes can occur because of neurologic problems but this does not sound like you have that. You need to discuss the symptoms with your physician so you can get clarification
