Hi, about two months ago I started having muscle twitching on my left Biceps and sometimes Triceps. Then I started having small muscle cramps that never goes like a full cramp. Now it did spread to my stomach and some of the back muscles.
I do have anxiety disorder and now because this other symptoms I am starting to worry even more.
I am an athlete and all those symptoms feels very weird as I use my body a lot.
3 months ago I had an MRI of my brain and neck because of headaches but it was all fine. I have almost a cervical disc herniation but it is not affecting the nerve.
So if anyone had similar symptoms please let me know.
Hi Acro!
These could very well be anxiety symptoms. I was diagnosed with a severe anxiety disorder myself and my body does the strangest things! Sometimes my leg will decide to kick by itself or some limbs start to twitch. My legs also cramp a lot too!
I was told by a few professionals when I was terrified that the more we're aware of it, the more our body will do it. Our bodies are all capable of doing different things and each nerve is connected. So if the brain is having an anxious moment, your body will most likely react! It's the exact same as when you have a tiny panic attack and your rib feels very tight.
So don't worry too much! If it begins to hurt lots, it's always good to get stuff checked out, even if it's absolutely nothing!
But to put your mind at rest, it's very common for cramps to pop up, especially with anxiety!
Hope you get better soon!
Hi, thank you for your time.
Did you experience shortness of breath too? Sometimes I do and then I worry even more as I start to think I am having symptoms of MS or ALS.
My almost cramps they don't hurt they are just really weird. I will try to go to a Neurologist very soon.
Thanks
