Hi. Sometimes fasciculations or muscle twitching can also be benign (not serious). As long as there is no weakness of limbs or grip weakness or swallowing difficulty and speech difficulty you can wait and watch. Mean while blood tests for serum electrolytes, calcium, magnesium and thyroid profile and imaging of cervical spine can be done to rule out treatable causes.
