Muscle twitches

[Jwilcock]

So frightened, I have now started having muscle twitches which can seem to just happen anywhere. When I’m lying in bed my fingers may twitch out or my foot may flick to the side!!!!! Or I’ll just get a muscle twitch under the skin could be my thigh, foot, arm, chest literally anywhere, feel so agitated & fidgety with it. Please does anybody else have these symptoms from anxiety?????

Thank you for getting back to me. Do your twitches sound similar to mine?

[autumnthebrat2 in reply to Jwilcock]

Yes, they have been all over with varying intensity over the years. Also had tingling, muscle spasms and many other symptoms. Check our anxiety centre, it gives a good description of the various symptoms of a stressed nervous system

Yes I have muscle twitches all over, chest, butt, legs, arms, abdomen the ones in the chest are the ones I hate the most, they just come out of no where mainly relaxing in bed and can last ages and come and go all the time.

[Hamiddkhnn in reply to kenster1]

Is it from anxiety or stress related?

[kenster1 in reply to Hamiddkhnn]

good question more anxiety I think.i used to think it was meds causing it but doctor didn't think so.

[Hamiddkhnn in reply to kenster1]

What did your doctor said about it?

[Hamiddkhnn]

Have you ever been to a doc for that?

[kenster1]

yeah I mentioned it ages ago he didn't think it was medication but recently I gradually came off mirtazapine and the spasms eased a bit now im back on them again as bad as eve.gave me amitriptyline for them but im scared to mix don't want to feel more like a zombie.
