See family physician: Muscle fasciculations may have a number of causes, from metabolic to structural. If you are well hydrated and still having symptoms, see your family physician.

Fasciculations: Muscle cramps , generalized fasciculations , back cramps , neck shoulder stiffness , tingling at younger age are of concern and vary from benign forms such as benign fasciculations syndrome , small fiber neuropathy to more serious forms of neuromuscular disorders and warrants evaluation by neurology.
