twitching of muscles may be due to changes in the level of chemicals in blood especially calcium, also magnesium etc.\nIf the condition persits pls see a doctor, who might get a blood chemistry done.

i think (my opinion) that it is a pulled muscle...like a cramp or sumthing, cuz when u get a cramp in ur leg, you flex it to pull it out....in ur case, holding it in a position and the pain stops....but iunno..

shaking usually happens especially when you are doing free weight b/c of the stabilizing muscles.  you'll notice it especially if you switch from machine to free weights, or if you are generally weak and have not worked out for a long time.  \n\nusually if i stop working out and restart, the shaking starts, so i usually start with machines to just get my muscles going instead of over doing it and being sore for several days.  once i feel like i have smooth movement, i switch back to free weights and the shaking will restart, but will go away once you have regain the stabilizing muscles to support it.\n\nmy advice, keep doing what you're doing, but don't overdo it.  take it easy for 1-2wks, then start pushing yourself harder and harder.

Sometimes part of your eyelid may twitch for several minutes or hours. An involuntary twitching of a muscle is called Myokymia. Myokymia of the eyelid can occur with stress, lack of sleep or too much caffeine. Occasional twitching of an eyelid usually disappears by itself and does not indicate a serious problem unless it persists or extends to other parts of the face.\n\nIt is not serious and usually goes away with rest and proper nutrition.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no vitamins used to treat muscle spasms.  Calcium/magnesium combinations are often recommended to those who experience muscle spasms in their legs when they try to lay down to go to sleep, but that's the only instance I have ever heard of a vitamin or mineral combination being used to help that problem.\n\nYour best bet is really to have him return to the doctor so they can figure out why his muscles are spasming so badly and the medications given to him are ineffective.

It is questions like these that make yahoo answers what it is....\n\nI get restless at nights too, some say it is a twitch pattern that develops while you are sleeping. The reslessness and twitching of your legs keeps your body from hitting deep sleep - effectively wasting the time you spend in bed. \n\nI just reached level three..!!!!!

LOL, you've nailed it! I think you could also include twitching.

The recurring eye twitch I was going to say could easily be a vitamin deficiency. But then I opened the question and read the details. That would be a little disconcerting. You know, it never hurts to go see your friendly neighborhood doctor and just have everything checked out occasionally. Oh I know the turn your head and cough bit is a tad uncomfortable too, but hey.........at least you don't have stirrups. Ok the point being....go see the doctor no matter what is going on in your head. And don't procrastinate because you are afraid of bad news. He'll probably tell you to start eating right and get more exercise. That feeds your brain more vitamin B and that just might take care of everything! So listen to those people that wrote above me. Make an appt. soon........but let us know how it goes.

Well I dont know much about you.  Often it is normal to have twitches.  Stimulants (e.g., caffeine) can worsen them.

Muscle spasms occur when the muscle has been overworked or traumatized. There are also situations where the nervous system has a brief malfunction and will send the message to fire when there is no need. Most of mine are because of injuries to the areas and are a sign I have over done some sort of activity.

It is very common for muscles to twitch as they relax.  Her behavior does not sound extreme.  There should be nothing to worry about.  The link below discusses this.

Occasionally, your eye may twitch at random. This involuntary twitching of the eyelid muscle usually lasts less than a minute. But it can be bothersome. The cause of eyelid twitching isn't known. However, it's often associated with fatigue and stress. You may be able to relieve the twitching by gently massaging the affected eyelid.\n\nAn eyelid twitch is usually harmless. Rarely, a twitching eyelid can be a symptom of a muscle or nerve disease. But if that is the case, it's usually accompanied by other symptoms.

most people call that a muscle spasm.  sometimes it could be a neurological problem, but I know a lot of people who have that at times.  Who knows why?  Maybe you were squinting too much and the muscles are tightening on their own now.

Although it is most likely fat you are losing, if you had large fast-twitch muscles created with high weight/low rep exercises and then switched to low weight/high rep exercises, your muscles could begin to change into slow-twitch (endurance) muscles (which are smaller/longer/denser).
