Hi! I`m 24 years old man from finland, and i`ve suffered of anxiety/psychosomatic symptoms for many years now. I`ve had so many symptoms, that oh my god! And i`m always sure that everything is something serious, like als or cancer....

Now, my latest symptom is muscle twitching. Have had this for 3 weeks now. I can feel these sensations randomly everywhere. Is this common anxiety symptom??

And second one is shakiness. Anxiety symptom?

Third one. I can feel "ants crawling under my skin" sometimes. Anxiety symptom?

Please help me....I`m so afraid!!! :shock:

Believe me, I also very much get muscle twitching and shakiness. It feels like there's little bugs crawling around under my calves. And I had an eye twitch for a month straight.

As for the shakiness, I get that a lot also. It feels like a low sugar attack but even when I eat it doesn't get better. I especially feel it severely when I first wake up in the morning. The only way it goes away is with xanax. But believe me I constantly shake, it's very weird!!!

I find that a lot of this muscle twitching is due to exhaustion/tiredness. If you constantly worry about your health, you cannot relax mentally or physically and then your body reacts, and generally feels wrong.

Have you always worried about your health? Do you ever think and think so much about it that you feel nervous and insecure? You have got to find a way to stop thinking like that, and start to be more positive. Do you have any interest or hobbies away from work or study? Do you sleep well at night?
