Worried I may have ALS.
First I should start by saying I have been extremely stressed and have had strong anxiety over the last 6 months. Most days I have these feelings. I am a 26 year old male.
I then started having twitching and swelling on my finger (that has now stopped). The twitching then moved to my left thigh and then a day later to my right thigh (at the same time). 2 days later it went to both my arms. The twitching normally stops when I am not using the muscle (not always though). Also muscles never twitch in more then one place at the same time, they could just pop up in any limb.
All of the limbs mentioned feel tired however I am still able to use them fully.
Now currently I have just started having a lump in my throat particularly after eating solids. Plus my jaw gets tired and aches. Neck feels tight and aches.
does it sound like symptoms of als ?
thank you for answering!
Sorry I meant the twitching usually starts when I am not using the muscle !
