Hi,

Please don't be scared. It's important that we try to figure out the cause and treat accordingly. The fasciculation (twitching), you are experiencing can be due to number of causes, the majority of which are benign (benign fasciculation syndrome), but can also be due to disease of the motor neurons. These fasciculations can also be due to magnesium deficiency, dehydration, fatigue and some medication (caffiene, benadryl, salbutamol etc.).

I think, it's right time to take an opinion of a neurologist

I understand the anxiety you feel regarding your symptoms. However, nothing definite can be said about your condition unless you are seen by a specialist, in this case, a neurologist.  Please do so at the earliest possible time if there is any concern about the seriousness of your condition.
