Brief Answer: I am not concerned with this symptoms... Detailed Answer: Hi, From what you describe, it seems to be muscle tic. Here a particular neuromuscular fibre fires a random contraction briefly. This is usually a harmless condition. If you have no other symptoms, you can ignore it. I would not order any tests as I am not concerned about this symptom. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarification. Regards
