Yes, I get these constantly. Another name aside from fasciculations is myoclonic twitches. Myoclonus is called positive or negative, positive being the twitches, and negative look like you took way too much muscle relaxants.
Also if you're contracting your eye (closing it) that can be called blepharospasm. I know for me it's more of a flutter.
They can be strongly exacerbated by use/abuse of anti-anxiety medication!! Just a heads up. I myself have experienced this upon discontinuation of medication. However by that same token, they may be temporarily more severe during a period of discontinuation of a drug therapy. In many cases they'll get less severe. For me they have in this situation, although they did still persist to a lesser degree.
thegreaseman: that last bit is called a tremor. I already have essential tremor (genetic, benign shaking- in my hands) but the anxiety makes it sooo much worse. If you have that and it causes trouble for you (people remarking on it mostly) you should ask to be prescribed a beta blocker. It helps with that and it sorta helps with anxiety too.
and actually I have experienced shaking in my head when I had tremor + anxiety real bad. so that may be similar to what you're saying
