A member asked:
I get a few fast twitches or pulsations in neck typically after swimming in cold water. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely yes: Muscle twitching in general does not indicate any serious ailment unless there are other associated symptoms or signs (i.e. weakness, loss of sensation, etc). If these symptoms persist and are bothersome, I would recommend that you seek the consultation of a neurologist.
