Muscle twitches: Muscle twitches develop commonly and usually you do not need to see a doctor about them unless they become severe. Try making sure you are drinking plenty of water and add a daily multivitamin/multimineral supplement and they will hopefully go away without a trip to the doctor. Stretching and warm compresses may help as well.
