vein and artery twitching?
I keep feeling this at the bottom of my feet and my legs, abdominal area, neck, basically almost everywhere. My heart twitches too. What is this?
I also fear that I may be losing blood internally because this is associated with fatigue and pain
in my neck and chest.

James I agree with the first writer, I called them muscle fasiculations a while back. This is a symptom that you must bring up with your neurologist.

Relax, there are no major arteries on your scalp. More than likely a shallow vein or a tic - an involuntary twitch of a tiny muscle. Absolutely harmless.

You may be experiencing something called "fasciculations". I get them all the time too and they are very annoying. Not sure why your heart would be doing it. I can actually see my hand, leg, etc twitching and looks like there is something inside my skin moving.
From what I am told there is nothing wrong and could be muscle twitches. I have been getting them since I was younger and it started with my eye.
Hope this helps

Sounds like your muscles have developed "fasiculations" You should see a neurologist. It's impossible for your heart twitch, just the muscles of your chest around your heart.If you feel you are "losing blood internally" there has to be a source. There would be blood in your urine and stool.Your blood pressure would be low and your heart rate would be high. Go to emergency and get them to check your haemoglobin.

The above could be true but there is possibilities.
See your normal doctor about this issue and they can decide the best course of treatment.
Almost always, this issue is benign and does not require any treatment whatsoever. Neurology consult at this time seems a little too steep until a primary doctor evaluates you.

The other two are correct, it would do it to your heart as well since your heart is a muscle. There is no over the counter remedy for this so definitely see your doctor.
