Hi - first thank you in advance for responding. i read the please read first info and it was incredibly helpful but still have some questions.
i am a 47 year old male
Have noticed muscle switches a couple of times in the past but it had usually been one and done.
3 weeks ago had twitches in the right bicep.
I did what you were not supposed to do and hit up Dr google. Since then it has been random twitches every day. Most have been in the legs but i have also experienced them
In the arms, shoulders, back, and abdomen. Most are quite quick usually a couple of pulses at most and done. Also mostly while
at rest. Also occasionally some twitches that cause the whole limb to move. i had a couple of days where I would get an extended what I believe to be a twitch across the muscle that covers my shin. It came a couple of times per day and lasted for quite some time when it came even if i was active active. That happen ed a couple of times per day for 3 days but has not been back since Monday. i have not noticed a change in strength or have had any trouble with any tasks.
i would say I worry about my health but have never had health anxiety until now. i have not had a full night of sleep since I hit up google. i know my anxiety is probably trying the best of me but hoping some ok necan shed some light on my situation. i was able to find a neuro to see me on Monday.
Thanks!
