Muscle spasms

[Caito88]

Does anyone here experience muscle spasms? I have been experiencing increased anxiety lately and started having frequent muscle spasms in my thighs. Doctor thought it might be from a vitamin deficiency but blood and urine tests came back normal. My therapist thinks it is related to my anxiety but I can’t help but be worried after my coworker started pointing out to me various disorders that cause muscle spasms such as ALS, MS etc. This is causing me to feel even more anxious than I was feeling before. Have also been experiencing loss of appetite, fatigue, sore and achy muscles.

I've had those too. At first they were in my lower abdomen area, then my inner thighs, and now I think I have one in my upper chest. These aren't painful so they don't worry me. It's when I get pains that I feel an adrenalin rush that will put me into panic mode. It's weird to think that anxiety can cause these sensations. I'm new to all of this with symptoms starting 4 months ago. I love running and working out but this symptoms make it really hard some days especially the fatigue and achy muscles. I was worried too about MS but my brain MRI and neurologist said everything looked fine.

Hi , I've been having the same symptoms as youve been describing.

9 years ago my Neurologist told me that I had Chronic Fibromyalgia.

The Achy muscles in my legs are so bad sometimes that I can hardly move them..

Fibro also causes Fatigue and loss of appetite. I was 8st 7lb and went down to 6 st.. I now weigh 7st 4lb so I am putting it on a little bit now.

Go back to your G.P and tell them what's going on with you. There has to be something that's causing all of your symptoms. You could even be worrying about nothing. I hope so. 🤞

Take Care and Stay Safe.😊

Anxiety & stress from anxiety will cause it. Once I started ignoring all these symptoms & joining some civic & church clubs, I did"t have time to worry about every symptom that popped up, I was on the road to recovery. Being of service to others took off the focus on ME ! I meet people with anxiety everywhere, i don"t hide it & it has caused many "normal" people to admit they have it also. I have some Xanax pills for emegencys but they are from 2017 !!
