Thank you for your query again. I would suggest consulting a neurologist in this regard since as earlier mentioned it may be related to vitamin/nutritional deficiency, anxiety or any neurological disorder developing. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Although without being able to examine you I can not offer you the specific advice on diagnosis and treatment that you need, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern.
This muscle twitching is also called as muscle fasciculation & appears when the muscle contracts on its own (without nerve stimulation). Most of the times muscle twitching occurs without any underlying disorder & they are not harmful or may appear after viral illness or vitamin/nutritional deficiency. But sometimes this muscle twitching appears as atrophy and weakness of muscle as well and might be associated with any neurological disorder. Most likely cause of this twitching with pain of muscles can be when the nerve supplying to arm muscles is not functioning properly due to any vitamin/nutritional deficiency. If you suffer continuous weakness and notice reduced strength of muscle bulk, please arrange an appointment with a neurologist right away who will evaluate the possibilities here. Hope this information proves helpful to you.
Take Care & Regards!!!
