Hi my names randy, im a 19 year old male with no family history of als ..ive been extremely worried as of lately because i feel i might have als/mnd...it started about four years ago i had terrible anxiety and started feeling tingling and numbness in my left arm and went to my PCP and was prescribed anxiety meds.. aftet that i would get twitches in my left eye and surely enough i began to google symptoms (which most of mine mimicked ms ) shortly after my mom passed away and i had and still deal with terrible depression and ptsd.. fast forward about a year and i started get5ing a buzzing feeling in my left calf and got cramps, expernienced heat intolerance , vertigo, i remember gettin hit in a game in gym one day and began to experience slight double vision, had urinary incontinence and always urge to habe to pee for as long as i can remeber...i began to feel a lump sensation in my throat and it would come and go and i would always have difficulty swallowing, not food but saliva and would always swallow constantly, i think itd be important to put in that ive been smoking weed, mostly blunts for about 4 years steady... and smoked cigs for about a year and a half and been using a vape siince then... ..Ive had muscle twitches on arms and legs and in my face that come and go,jerking/ involuntary leg and arm movement.. also eye pain if i move my head to quickly occasionally .. i have weird head sensations and ice pick like headaches here anf there. But as of recently... ive had more chest tightness a quick 2 second sensation that happens occasionnaly that feels like i lose my breath real quick and a tickle in my throat that makes me feel the need dry cough that doesnt produce much mucus but but sounds gnarly.. and ive been looking stuff up and although i am fatigued almost constantly i feel like i have heavy legs and feel weak but can still do normal things as i have. Just recently my anxiety has been blowing my fear out of proportion. I cant help to think i have ms or als... also for about three years ive always felt off or out of it but i never knew if it was anxiety/depression, or more... i know this is all over the place..but i am really looking for all your guys opinions and i am seeing my dr. Tomorrow.. thank you
