What are fasciculations?
Dr Nikhil Sharma, Consultant Neurologist at Queen Square, says fasciculations are muscle twitches which are common and usually benign but you should seek a expert opinion if you are worried it may be something serious.
Transcript
So fasciculations are muscle twitching, which is very common in the normal population. Obviously, if one were to Google fasciculations then motor neurone disease is something that comes up very high on the list. It is really important that people who have fasciculations who are worried that they have motor neurone disease seek some sort of reassurance from an expert, either in motor neurone disease or in neurology, to try to alleviate those fears.
