The probable causes of teeth grinding or bruxism during sleep are: 1. Stress and anxiety: Tension can lead to teeth grinding. 2. Misaligned teeth or bite: Dental issues can cause teeth to grind. 3. Sleep disorders: Sleep apnea, insomnia, or restless leg syndrome. 4. Habits: Caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol consumption before bedtime. 5. Medical conditions: Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Consult a dentist or a healthcare professional to rule out underlying conditions and explore possible treatments.

So, I've been noticing something strange happening with my left hand. My middle finger has been twitching randomly, and sometimes I feel a little shiver in the whole hand. Also, there's this weird muscle twitching near my elbow. It's mainly the middle finger that's bothering me the most, and it's got me a bit worried. I'm wondering what might be causing all this and who I should see about it. Could it be something serious?

Question

I've been having this tightness on the right side of my chest, and when I press on that spot, it gives me some relief, but then it just starts back up again. It's leading to some pain near my left chest too. I've had my heart checked and all the tests are normal, so now I'm wondering if this could be a nerve or muscle issue. Could you suggest any tests I should look into?
