Muscle spasms a precursor to seizure?

Do any of you experience muscle spasms/ light fluttering before or after a seizure? I recently have been experiencing my upper lip and calf muscles lightly fluttering - barely visible but 100% it happens a few times per day. I’m leaning toward thinking this is dehydration or vitamin deficiency….but curious if this might be more common for those with epilepsy?

For background, I had my first (and hopefully last) grand mal seizure 6 months ago. It was a full blown episode; lost consciousness, stopped breathing, CPR and 2 days hospitalization. Initially, I thought it was caused by “the perfect storm”; however, after an MRI they found a physical abnormality on my temple - exactly where I had a depressed skull fracture 30 years ago. I take Lamotrigine now and having a follow up with my Neuro soon.
