I've been diagnosed with ulnar nerve compression (a double crush after my ACDF C5-C7) is that a symptom of the ulnar nerve entrapment?

Just wondering if it's anything I should be overly concerned about. Does it warrant a dr's visit or call?

No you should not be overly concerned but anytime you have ongoing or worsening fasiculations of a muscle, that could represent denervation so a trip to your local ortho or neuro would be prudent!
