This is relatively weird, but it's been
happening during the last few weeks, and
it's bothering me.
I've been noticing muscle twitches (no
cramping or discomfort, only twitches) in
all parts of my body. It could be
anywhere from a toe to a finger to my
back. However, it never happens when i'm
active, it only happens when i'm at rest.
I've woken up with a big twitch in my
arms or back a few times, but no other
time has it happened. I've heard of all
sorts of benign muscle twitch diseases,
but the problem is that there's no other
symptom. Weakness, paralysis, rigidity,
and spasms are symptoms of almost every
single muscular/nervous disorder i've
seen, and like I said, this is only
muscular twitching and only when i'm at
rest. I've also noticed that the more I
think and worry about it, the more it
happens, which makes me believe it's
related to anxiety.
The only other point of interest might be
the fact that I lift weights frequently.
But it's not beyond normal; it's only
three times per week, one hour each
session. I've been doing it for seven
years, though, and I don't see why it
should suddenly start causing muscle
twitching problems now.

Yes. Its anxiety. I had this for about a
year, would wake up with my arm suddenly
twitching, or have muscle twitches a few
times a day when relaxing and watching tv.
It was anxiety.. Stress..
Dont worry about it. Just laugh at it,.

most likely it’s a vitamin deficiency,
go by some really good vitamins. high
prices don’t necessarily make them good,
it’s the ingredients. look for things
with iron, calcium, B12, B6, vitamin
a/b/c/d. and of course make sure you're
eating your grains, fruits, veggies,
daries, and lean meats with their correct
servings.
if the problem still persists then go see
a doctor.
I know the guy above me responded saying
it was infact anxiety but you shouldn’t
take that or what I have said as a
diagnosis. only your doctor (who sees you
face to face) can tell you for sure what
the problem is.

I would also agree that this may be tied
to weight lifting. How much are you
lifting? If you're doing a good bit,
vitamin supplementation is pretty much
required. I myself had to increase my
calcium/maganesium/zinc because they were
getting low.

Weight Lifting Posted: 03-06-07 08:20am
I weight lift 3-4 times per week as well
and don't think it has a connection to
your nervous twitching. I have some
twitches at times as well especially in my
stomach. It is most likely anxiety and is
probably harmless. Just massage the
nervous area until it stops or practice
relaxation and it will go away. The less
you think about it, the quicker it will go
away. Don't worry about it and keep
exercising. There is no better cure to
anxiety than exercise.
