Beningn fasciculations

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being in follow-up and providing further details.
All the points which you have mentioned are against any specific organic disease.Some serious diseases like Motor Neuron disease can cause fasciculations but in your case,I am convinced that it is 'Bening fasciculation syndrome'.
These fasciculations will improve with adequate rest, sleep and reduced mental stress.Limiting on tea and coffee can also help.
Hope this helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up else please close the thread,rate it and write a review.
