I'm wondering if you ever got this problem figured out. It is 5 yrs later from when you posted & I don't know if you will even get this message. I am having some of the same symtoms... night jerking/ twitching & also heavy heart beat which I feel like is from anxiety. Thanks for any help!

Count me in - in hindsight the twitching started years ago in connection with other symptoms indicating my thyroid was getting wonky (hyper direction)

For what it's worth, I have hashimotos with a slightly elevated tpo antibody count at 250 and I have twitching all over my body. Just any muscle including my tongue, eyebrows, neck, arms, legs, abdomen etc and I get pretty big twitches once about every five to ten seconds. Going to see my doc again tomorrow. One thing everyone might find interesting is that my actylcholinesteraise count is low. That is a marker for organophosphate (pesticide) poisoning, and what I have learned was that hyper and hypo thyroid conditions can influence acetylcholinesterase levels too. This would cause twitching by building up actylcholine at the neuromuscular junctions. I'm no doctor but I've been learning about this for the past several months. it's kind of the reverse of myasthenia Gravis.

I get muscle twitching from having hyperparathyroidism and elevated calcium levels. I will be sitting and my claf will twitch, then a second later my arm, then my side, stomach ect.... I get them everywhere- I hope when I have my surgery my pesky twitches will leave. I feel for everyone that has to deal with this annoying problem

I just get twitches mainly in my arms and legs.  Now the twitches in my legs cause me to fall.  I have fallen three times in the last week.  My doctor says there is nothing wrong i don't know were to go from here.  does anyone one have any suggestions.  I'm just glad i haven't really hurt myself yet by falling.
