Muscle Twitches
Some people with hypercapnia may experience muscle twitches. Also known as fasciculation, the twitching is a result of minor muscle contractions in the body. An individual may not even notice the twitches, and they're rarely anything to be concerned about.
Twitching may also occur after exercise due to lactic acid accumulation in the muscles.5Muscle Spasms (Muscle Cramps): ‘Causes, Pain Relief & Treatment.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15466-muscle-spasms It commonly affects a person's arms, legs and back. Stress and anxiety are other lifestyle related causes. More serious causes can include muscular dystrophy, a group of inherited muscle-damaging diseases.
