The Real Reason Your Muscles Keep Twitching | Neurologist Explains

If your muscles are twitching and you’re terrified it could be ALS, this video explains what may actually be happening inside your nervous system. In this episode of the fasciculation series, I explain how anxiety, stress, poor sleep, caffeine, adrenaline, and hypervigilance can make motor nerves more excitable and trigger benign muscle twitching. You’ll learn: • What a fasciculation actually is • How motor nerves and muscle fibers communicate • Why adrenaline can make nerves more likely to fire • How checking your muscles can keep the twitching cycle going • Why stress-responsive twitching is usually reassuring • How to start breaking the anxiety-twitching loop Muscle twitching can feel terrifying, especially if you’re worried about ALS. But in many people, fasciculations are related to an overstimulated nervous system, not a degenerative disease. 📘 Free Muscle Twitching / Fasciculation Guide: https://26a892a4.sibforms.com/serve/M...
