What is the definition of tongue fasciculations?
Tongue fasciculations refer to involuntary, rapid contractions or twitching of the muscles in the tongue. They are often a sign of nerve damage or dysfunction and can be associated with conditions such as ALS, neuropathies, or electrolyte imbalances.
What are the causes of tongue fasciculations?
The most common cause for tongue fasciculations is BFS, or Benign Fasciculation Syndrome. As the name would suggest, this little understood condition is harmless and generally comes and goes, though some people suffer from it for years. However, any type of persistent fasciculation should be addressed with your physician so that other causes, both treatable and untreatable, might be ruled out. Never attempt any sort of self-diagnosis based on information found on the internet, particularly where fasciculations are concerned. It should also be noted that when checking the tongue for fasciculations, the tongue should be left at rest entirely inside the mouth. Nearly all tongues will fasciculate once you stick them out, and, in fact, it is often difficult for patients to hold their tongues still even at rest on the floor of their mouths. I would suggest that many laypeople are too quick to self-diagnose fasciculations of the tongue.

Benign fasciculations can occur even in the absence of exercise, although exercise is a well known trigger of this condition. Benign fasciculations usually involve the feet, hands, arms, or legs, although almost any muscle can be affected. By their very definition, they are benign and aren't indicative of serious underlying disease.Benign fasciculations or muscle twitches after exercise is surprisingly common. After the muscles have undergone an intense workout, biochemical changes take place as the muscle responds to the stress of exercised Lactic acid builds up in the fatigued muscle and formation of free radicals occur which believe can alter the excitability of muscle tissue.
