Good morning, ma'am, Yes, this type of spasm can occur, sometimes for several weeks. Usually, it stops on its own, without any intervention from anyone. Anecdotally speaking, several patients mention that it happens when they are more tired, and that it stops after 2 or 3 good nights of sleep in a row. To be tried! If, however, in 2 weeks and despite good nights of sleep, it is still present, we will consult a doctor! Good evening :) Alexandre
