Muscle twitching can be caused by factors like stress, fatigue, dehydration, or electrolyte imbalances. Since you have no other symptoms, it’s likely benign. Here are some steps you can take:
- **Hydration & Nutrition**: Ensure you're drinking enough water and consuming foods rich in **magnesium, potassium, and calcium**.
- **Stretch & Massage**: Gently stretch the affected muscle and massage it to relieve tension.
- **Reduce Caffeine & Stress**: Excess caffeine or stress can trigger twitching, so cutting back may help.
- **Rest & Sleep**: Prioritize good sleep hygiene to allow your muscles to recover.
If the twitching persists or worsens
