Hi, I Am A 24 Year Old, Healthy Male. I

Possible contributors - I started dental school about a year and a half ago. This is around the time I noticed they were happening pretty much all of the time. I asked my doctor about it around 6 months ago and he said it’s likely stress.
I started taking a multivitamin, thinking it could also be a electrolyte or mineral imbalance, and that may have helped it some, but I honestly can’t say for certainty. It’s definitely not as bad as it was this time last year, but it’s still occurring almost daily definitely every week.
For more info - I have not lost any strength or muscle mass, in fact I’d say I have gained both. I haven’t noticed any serious complications that could be associated with these ticks/twitches, other than they are annoying and casual even more stress when you think about the possibilities it could be.
Just curious on some opinions into this.
It seems non serious
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, it does not look serious as you don't have muscle loss /weaken muscles. It may be due to excessive exertion and dehydration as lactic acid accumulates in muscle.
Still for further assessment I would suggest you to consult with physician for detailed clinical examination.
He may procure complete hemogram, vitamin D/B, thyroid profile, electrolytes including potassium, calcium, electromyography as per evaluation to rule out any other possibilities for electrolytes imbalance /nutritional deficiency/muscle disorder.
Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition. Till then keep your self hydrated. Take balanced diet.
Avoid excessive exertion/stress. Take proper rest. Avoid smoking if you have it.
Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
