I've had them in my calves for 10 years now. There came on out of the blue and felt very pronounced and were very visible. I had been going through a prolonged period of stress without realising at the time.
Eventually they calmed down to a point where I hardly notice them any more.

Lately though, they have come back with a vengence. I get them across my mouth, back, chest, practically anywhere, but they are fleeting and random.
The one in my arm was particularly annoying as it lasted for hours. It was gone by the time I went to bed last night and I only noticed a couple of "flutters" through the night.
I tried not to worry too much about it yesterday.Worrying about every little thing feeds my anxiety..

Shortly after my mum died, 14 years ago, I developed an irregular heartbeat and took beta blockers for 18 months. It's gone now thankfully, but it proves my body has a tendency to the twitchy sort of response to stress..

Re: magnesium if supplementing daily, should we be taking calcium along with it as to keep a good balance ?

People taking Vit D to improve blood levels, typically don't need
calcium supplements much. Vit D will improve calcium absorption from food.

But for people taking acid blocking drugs every day, some calcium may be needed...these drugs block absorption of both magnesium AND calcium.

Up to 70% of people can be low in magnesium alone! This is from taking some drugs, diabetes, or poor dietary intake.

A couple years ago I was experiencing little cramps in the top of my left calf, my DR prescribed Nortriptyline which knocked that right out- only took it for a couple weeks.
