Muscle twitches: are normal from time to time in everyone and you have several conditions that make you more susceptible. You probably ARE healthy and should just ignore it and it will go away.

Also consider your present stress levels or if you are anxious. This can trigger that as well as genetic benign tremors.

A 46-year-old male asked:
I have very minor twitching at base of left thumb (when I move the thumb closer to my index finger, it trembles a little). I jammed said thumb 2+ years ago. I'm right handed. Could that have caused this twitching? I have no known health issues.

6 -7 months, my eyes have been twitching everyday, non-stop. Recently my calves, thighs, arms, neck, palm began twitching too. Not been too stressed and getting enough sleep. Problematic as twitching really disgusts me and I'm unable to concentrate.
