Its normal: What you are experiencing is muscle fasciculations or involuntary muscle contractions. Everyone experiences them and most are harmless. They can also occur as a result of some abnormal conditions such as polio, spinal muscular atrophy, and more commonly magnesium deficiency. Up to 70% of adults do not consume the daily recommended amount of magnesium. You can get it from nuts, bananas, and spinach.
