..all the difference: One has to make a distinction between muscle movement fasciculations/ spasm and Blood Vessel vigorous contractions/pulsations among other Physical Examination findings to determine if the sensation is benign or not. To avoid undue anxiety a quick trip to the Doctor will make all the difference.
