I am 19 years old and I stress out about every little thing my body is doing and a month or two ago I got muscle twitches and I started worrying Als and I went to my GP and she said she was not worried about it and said if she was she would have referred me to a neurologist. It gave me some relief but now I mispronounced a word and I started getting scared that I am slurring speech and now I’m paying attention to that and getting worked up about that and now my tongue and mouth feel co coordinated. I also had a weird feeling on my cheek kind of like a numb feeling

I started at your age. I still deal with health anxiety but I went about 9 years worry free. It is so hard to get through the day sometimes and all you want to do is sleep because only then do you not feel a thing. I’ve been worried about all kinds of cancers and neurological illness. And so far nothing has been found. Anxiety and stress cause very real and scary symptoms and they can keep switching..this week my mind keeps wondering why my eyelid won’t stop twitching. Yesterday, I had my yearly eye exam and to my relief no issues just had to reduce my contact lens prescription and today it hasn’t twitched as much. What I’m saying is that there are times when the issue is minor but our minds exaggerate it. In December i was having tongue and mouth issues (like how you explained) and when I became fixated with it my tongue started to hurt...anyway that was due to anxiety produced reflux and then I had ear pain and noise distortion which was allergies and is now gone. Try listening to The Anxiety Guy podcast..definitely has helped me understand some of this all and helps me from having panic attacks.
Thats how it all started. I felt my body wheeze from then on my worries started and it was symptom after and now its 6 monthsftom January am still down sick. Heart beats , heartburn, fatigue , insomnia, weak legs, shoulder pain, chest discomfort, strained eyes.. l cry am not a humanbeing anymore
I’m 18 and the same about sod it’s mad I get a muscle twitches in my tongue aswell most times when I talk do u get twitches in ur tongue?
