So I'm a 22 year old male who has been having some neurological symptoms lately. It started with postural tremor in the hands and limbs (no resting tremor) along with some clonus-like jerking. I have since noticed some difficulty swallowing, my gait is a little strange, my voice gets hoarse quite easily, I've now developed some facial tremor when posturing (half-smiles, etc), and worst of all, I've got a constant internal fine jaw tremor. It is not visible to the eye, but I feel like my lower jaw is constantly shaking, and it feels a little weak, as though I'd like to just let imy mouth hang open. I never feel my tongue twitching, but looking in the mirror it seems to twitch occasionally at rest, and trembles a decent amount if I stick it out. I've been having terrible anxiety over this and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Symptoms have lasted for weeks now.
