Possible Causes. 1  Carpel Tunnel Syndrome â If you have carpel tunnel syndrome, there is a nerve that is nicked in your wrist that passes through your carpel tunnel. 2  This is commonly done to help relieve pressure associated with the median nerve. 3  In doing so, it often leads to twitching of the thumb or index finger.
Fine movements in a tiny area of muscle in your fingers are called finger twitching. Common symptoms that are often present in addition to the twitching are numbness and tingling. When the twitching only occurs once in awhile, it is considered quite normal and it is usually just ignored. Side Effects â Certain drugs such as diuretics, corticosteroids and estrogen are often causes of twitching in your fingers. 2  Caffeine â It is reported that too much caffeine or withdrawals of caffeine can cause muscle twitching. 3  This includes coffee, soda and chocolate.
