Hi,
You are having twitching due to electrolytes imbalances and that may be due to calcium or magnesium. I would recommend you to start supplements for these two in tablet or syrup form and after 15 days if symptoms do not settle then get your blood tests done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
