How can excess of water may cause muscle twitching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dilution: Excess water (lots of water) can dilute some electrolytes in your blood. Those electrolytes are important in nerve conduction. Nerves activate your muscles, so if there are "electrical" disturbances, your muscle can twitch.
