Yes it is a muscle twitch.
A fasciculation (or “muscle twitch”) is a small, local, involuntary muscle contraction (twitching) visible under the skin arising from the spontaneous discharge of a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers. Fasciculations have a variety of causes, the majority of which are benign, but can also be due to disease of the motor neurons.

That’s guilt. You’ve done something wrong, haven’t you?
Drinking tonic water can help – the quinine in the tonic water stabilizes nerve and muscle tissue membranes and keeps them from randomly firing
I get them. It’s a muscle spasm. It’s not really anything to worry about. I suggest the following:
1) Exercise regularly.
2) Get plenty of potassium and enough sodium (RDA for sodium is minimum recommended, not minimum). Bananas are a good source of potassium.
3) Stay away from muscle relaxers and alcohol.
4) Stay away from stimulants like energy drinks and espresso.
5) Tell your family that you love them (this won’t help the spasms, but it’s a good idea anyway).
thudding? Maybe if you hear a thuddingnoise then you are hearing or feeling tour jugular vein. Like when you work our and can hear your blood rushing through your neck.
The best natural treatment for a muscle twitch is taking a high-dose magnesium supplement.
