Lots of muscle twitches

Middle aged woman, noticed I’m getting more regular muscle twitches. Anyone else get similar. I am sitting here waiting for my child to finish a class and my upper arm is twitching wildly, I also get regular facial twitching under my mouth which pulls my lip down when I talk. I used to get the eye twitching but not so much now. Is it stress do you think?

Hello OP, I have this too especially when stressed, I have found b12 tablets help reduce it ☺️

I would say to discuss this with your doctor and rule out any pathology

I had this for about 6 months (I also have MS incase you read any of my other threads and panic but neurology has ruled that it’s not MS related). Magnesium & vitamin D (4000iu) supplements saw it off in a month!

Thank you! I can definitely take some vitamin tablets.

With me, it's usually a sign of stress, but I've also been low of B12 at times.

Usually lack of magnesium..stress dont help in anything too x

Low Vitamin D and low B12/folate the two periods in my life that I suffered this.

Magnesium spray is really good.

I get this all the time. MS ruled out. Take vit D and magnesium but it still happens. I think it's stress/anxiety but whatever I try it doesn't go.

I get this particularly left eye and lid closes. Definitely worse if anxious.

I had an eye twitch for 3 weeks!! Took magnesium and it went away fairly quickly.
