Als at age 19 ?

Hi , I've been under a lot of stress for about 1 month, and I also have anxiety . I have been having twitches all over my body, especially on my right arm, for 1 week. Sometimes it doesn't twitch, sometimes it twitches . I also have some tension in my neck and shoulder, I don't have any physical weaknesses, but I'm afraid it will happen in the future. Could all this be a symptom of ALS or is it just a ridiculous anxiety ? Also, after researching ALS, the twitching increased a little, but it has decreased now because I feel relax for now, the only uncomfortable feeling is shaking and tension.

Sorry for the title, i just read the rules and now i learned

Given the two choices ridiculous anxiety. Twitches are common. Anxiety makes them worse. Failure is the hallmark of ALS. You don’t have it. And als is incredibly rare at 19

Stop researching and get out and have some fun

Thank you for your reply. I know it's not Als, but unfortunately my brain doesn't believe it because I have anxiety. I guess I shouldn't do internet research anymore.
