The cause of "spasms" could range from benign causes to significant neurological problems.

Benign myoclonus is one condition that is more of a nuisance whereas a myocloic epilepsy or other metabolic disorder could be a more worrisome cause. The treatments vary widely based on the cause. You should be evaluated by a neurologist. Would you like to video or text chat with me?

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. Would you like to video or text chat with me?
