Brief Answer:
The most likely possibility is BFS.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
I have noted your symptoms and based on that, the most likely diagnosis is benign fasciculation syndrome (BFS). In BFS, there can be random muscle twitches affecting various parts of body. These twitches get worse with anxiety or sleep deprivation.
In addition, you could get the blood work done- calcium, potassium, phosphorus, vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels, as any deficiency can precipitate these muscle twitches.
