A member asked:
Constant muscle twitching in chest, thoracic spine and abdomen. heart ruled out. brain mri normal. non-painful, but driving me crazy. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fasciculations: or twitching muscles are due to multiple causes: stress, tension, anxiety, low electrolytes, low calcium, magnesium, zinc or underlying metabolic or neurological diseases like hyperthyroidism or ALS.I strongly suggest a medical exam and testing.
