What do you mean?? like a bolt of pain? or a sensation feeling?? x

Can you actually feel your muscle(s) contracting, going into spasm? Or is it more like a twitch where your muscle is clearly moving (fasciculations). Both can be due to anxiety, but it if continues I'd see your doc.

I wouldn't worry though as I've had this many times before. It generally isn't anything serious.

I used to have a lot of fasciculations (had no idea what they were called, though, thanks Melancholia!) and still do if I've had a stressful day. It usually happened if my muscles had relaxed for a moment. Like if I'd just sat down or lay down or was having a hug - anything relaxing. I'd get a series of them, like a little attack, and then they'd go. Maybe lasted about ten minutes or so. Not sure what causes them but I've had them for years and I'm fine. I have nearly hit my boyfriend a few times, though, if my arm flies out! :)

SORRY, just looked up fasciculations and this is not what I meant. I mean like body jerks - called myoclonic twitches.
