Why do I keep twitching like this?
A few months ago, I noticed that my leg would randomly twitch right before I fell asleep and it would wake me. It didn’t happen every night, but frequently enough for me to realize what was going on.
Since, that has pretty much ceased, but seems to have been replaced with other twitches. The one that bugs me the most is the twitch in my middle finger on my right hand. It’s really as if my finger is having a mini seizure and it’s quite disturbing; not painful, but strange feeling.
My right thigh will also randomly twitch when I’m laying around watching TV or something. This isn’t too disturbing. My right eye is disturbing, though. Frequently, it’ll twitch non-stop and it drives me crazy.
There are other parts that have twitched as well, but only once or twice; not enough for me to take it into account.
What is causing this? I’ve noticed that from what I can remember, it’s all the right side of my body. Is this something neurological? What would you suggest I do? I’ve read a little about Myoclonus and Benign Fasciculation Syndrome. I’m not sure that either of those quite fit what I’m feeling. Are there any others that it might be?
Being low in potassium (an example only) can also sometimes cause the kind of twitching that you describe. The only way to know for sure is to see your doctor for further evaluation of the situation.
You are experiencing hypnic jerks. They are caused by a spirit trying to get your attention. You may consider such spiritual interactions as a blessing.
When it next happens, try thinking, “hello,” to the unseen spirit. You need not actually say the words, as the spirit will hear your thoughts. You will hear its responses in your mind as if you thought them.
I sometimes get muscle spasms that are similar to your twitching. It usually is nothing at all, but if I am dehydrated, it is more prevalent. Seek medical advice from your doctor for a professional answer.
