Muscle twitches: Twitches can come from a variety of things, one of which is low magnesium. ALS is very low down on that list. Please see your doctor who will identify the cause and help you. Peace and good health.

No : I would not "worry", but it would reasonable to see your medical doctor for a good medical check up and to discuss your concerns.
