Anxiety or Stress: Muscle twitching can be a symptom of anxiety or stress, particularly if it is accompanied by other symptoms such as tremors or palpitations.
Electrolyte Imbalance: Abnormal levels of electrolytes such as potassium, calcium, or magnesium can cause muscle twitching, especially in the upper extremities.
Medication Side Effects: Certain medications, such as diuretics, corticosteroids, or stimulants, can cause muscle twitching as a side effect.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): Although rare, ALS is a progressive and fatal disease that can cause muscle twitching, weakness, and atrophy. Early diagnosis is crucial for management and treatment.
Multiple Sclerosis: This autoimmune disease can cause muscle twitching, weakness, and numbness, especially in the upper extremities.
Thyroid Disorders: Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can cause muscle twitching, among other symptoms.

Neuromuscular Disorders: Rare conditions such as myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophy, or spinal muscular atrophy can cause muscle twitching and weakness.
Toxic Exposures: Exposure to certain toxins, such as heavy metals or pesticides, can cause muscle twitching and other neurological symptoms.
