What Causes Twitching Of Forearm?
Hi, the outside part of my right forearm has been twitching for the past month now and I cannot figure out why. For about 15-30 seconds, multiple times an hour, the muscle will start to twitch. The twitching is noticeable to the naked eye as it looks like it is pulsating. I read that this could be from dehydration, but I drink a good amount of water throughout the day. What could this possible muscle twitching be and how do I stop it?

Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve, as the twitching is localized only in this region. I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing nerve conduction tests and a cervical spine X-ray study.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
