Index Finger Twitching

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

Hello Doctors, From past few days, my index finger in the left hand has been twitching. It is painless and it used to happen once in a while, but now it has been happening very frequently. I work on computer all day, but the twitching is present even when I'm NOT using my laptop and when I'm resting. The rest of my fingers are ok. I consulted a general physician and he told it might be because of computer usage or Vitamin Deficiency. What else could this be? Is there any medicine for this?
