Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.


Twitching can indeed be caused by a variety of factors such as Stress , Anxiety, Exhaustion, Caffeine Intake, Poor Sleep, Dehydration, Nicotine and Exercise. However, if twitching persists despite addressing these factors, it's essential to consult a doctor. They can perform tests to rule out underlying medical conditions like magnesium deficiency, neuropathy, radiculopathy, or other neurological issues that may be contributing to the twitching.
