Does anyone else experience this from time to time? What causes this? Today my left lat has been spasming/twitching it is quite annoying. Is there anything I could do to help it?

I usually suspect an electrolyte embalance or dehyrdation. I am usually able to get it to go away by consuming some water and fruits.

yep,sounds like it. I know with me if I didnt try to do something about the twitching it would last for hours. Fairly annoying eh. Worst of all is cramping, if it gets worse this can happen.

You can get those many times when you have a minor strain in the muscle; they are called fasiculations.

That was just wrong in soooo many ways
Did you go neurotic for a couple of days before you figured out it wasn't true?

Stimulants like caffeine can expedite an electrolyte imbalance. Diuretics certainly cause the same imbalance. Potatoes and bananas are great sources of potassium. If you live in the U.S. then your diet probably has plenty of sodium, but if you are intentionally keeping your sodium low this may be part of the problem. The Canadian trainer Scott Abel has some great articles about sodium if you want to read more.

We'll, I'd stare at my twitching eye lid in the mirror for a few minutes...waiting for the big one.

All you can do to disguise it is blink faster..but that makes you look crazy too
