on Monday evening when holding my phone with just my left hand I noticed that my hand was shaking a bit. Freaked me out. Since then I have been paying extra attention to my left hand. Holding the phone again to see if my hand will shake again. So far it has not. In paying extra attention to my left hand I have noticed just today weakness in my left pinky finger when typing. And honestly, now I'm wondering if I even used to use my left pinky when typing, but it feels weak when i type. Of course I'm now overthinking my typing even as I type this! I do have a history of health anxiety and had a full blown panic attack the other night. Should I reach out to my PCP after the holiday weekend? Am I overreacting? It's kind of like when I press the shift key with my left pinky it feels weak and a little shaky. I will say when not typing I don't seem to notice it. And it's not with every key stroke/use of my pinky on the keyboard. And this was something i really noticed today.
Background on me: 43 yr old female. Decent health. Definitely history of health anxiety (to be honest). I think it just feels sometimes like ALS is everywhere- possibly partly due to my social media feed over the past month.
Thank you.
