Question about muscle twitching

I have been experiencing twitching in my right pectoral muscle - today i have had intermittent twitches, even six hours after lifting.

I had the same sensation three days ago after swimming for an hour (and have not been in the pool for a while previous).

My questions are pretty basic - 1) what is causing this, 2) how can I treat and prevent from happening in the future.

Any information is appreciated!

It's completely normal.

It will go away.

Do not obsess...

My muscles begin to twitch when I am starting to relax and drift off to sleep. That is how I know that sleep is not far away. It just started a year ago and the doctor said not to worry about it, it is perfectly normal.

Buddha_the_god pretty much summed it up by offering us this link. And I was ready to be a trooper and type out my own version of what's already on "WIKI."
