Christmas Time Twitching: Anxious Minister

[BlueTurtle76]

Greetings Hello, I am a minister and in December I started to feel twitching in my right arm. Then because I always want to be up to date on all issues, I started researching it online and instantly, I started to get more twitching throughout my body (arm, legs, back). Man, my whole Christmas season was awful. Then the day after Christmas I went to Urgent Care and the doctor reassured me that it was nothing, especially since my heart rate and my blood pressure was sky high. I also received a physical in February and the doctor also said that it doesn't bring up any red flags in his mind. I started to take some anxiety medication for the night time because that was the hardest time to keep my mind off of it and the twitching has gone down significantly according to the time of day and if I am able to get outside (we are in the middle of major snow season) Sometimes I have a random tremor, but that only happens at night and when I am about to fall alseep. I am still working out a the same intensity and able to do all things, but obviously I still think about the terrible diseases that could alter my lifestyle and the life of my wife and kids. I just found this group and what a relief this is, but does anyone have any words of wisdom or encouragement for me.

hi,my advise to you would be to avoid doing your own research,most people including myself have been panicked by reading neurology sites.i am heading towards 8 years of full on twitching including the tongue, if you have had a good neuro check then move forward,its a distressing cycle if you dont. if your physically well and strong you are fine,the more worrisome diseases are accompanied by clinical weakness.sharon
