Hi Everyone
Had a quick question on EMG results and fibrillations. I do not know much about them. The "shock part" of my EMG had fantastic results. My muscles responded well above what they look for in a healthy person. however, during the NCV, they picked up a lot of fasiculations, which was totally expected since i've been twitching. The part i was questioning was that he said there was a +1 fibrillation in my calf muscle. I tried researching, but not really find out much info. I was under the assumption fibrillations were bad. The doctor diagnosed BFS and said to come back in 6 months for a check up. Trying not to overthink this, but was concerned about this. He checked 5 or 6 muscles in my leg and the calf was the only one that picked up the fib. Anyone know more about this than me? He sort of pushed me out of the door, so I couldn't get any answers. Thank you
