In brief: Fasiculations
Twitching of muscles can have many causes - many will not be mentioned here.
Withdrawal from medications, restless leg syndrome, metabolic imbalance (low calcium, magnesium, others), seizures, tetanus, dystonic reaction from medications like antipsychotics, reglan, (metoclopramide) or anti-nausea agents, certain neurological conditions. The treatment depends on the disease. You should consult with your doctor.
