Crazy Muscle Twitching

All over my body, I get these little
twitches. Neck, arms, back, shoulders,
legs, feet ... All over ... It's really
weird. And my arms and legs now both
ache. Like after a workout kind of
feeling. Any thoughts on what the hell is
going on here?

Hey asyf25:
i had crazy muscle twitches when I was
suffering from anxiety really bad. I
still have a few weird ones now and again
even though my anxiety is pretty much
gone. They drove me crazy... Even
though they don't really hurt they are so
annoying. Mine were persistent too, like
every 30 seconds or so, usually everywhere
in my body. I got really scared about
them, but in the end they were nothing.
The ones I hated the most were in my
stomach muscles. I had never had a
muscle twitch there before and they felt
so weird. Bu hang in there... I
wouldn't worry about them too much. I
know its hard, especially when they keep
coming, but try to forget about them.
Hope this helps. Have a good one.

I have the same thing-twitching for more
than 8 months. Sometimes it is almost on
continuous basis and sometimes they are
gone. I think that I have anxiety as well
(i have the other anxiet )symptoms . From
the beginning it was every once in a while
and now it is almost every day 24/7. I
was afraid it can be something dangerous
but I had neuro check and mri and
everything was ok.
Does someone know for how long anxiety can
last? Can it be on continuous basis like
I think it is now or this is something
else.
Thank you

Anxiety & Twitching

Hi all,
anxiety will last until you figure out
what is causing it and then do something
to fix it. Try talking to a
psychologist (helped for me). I also
started on zoloft. The meds took about
2-3 mos before I really felt a change.
As of now I no longer have panic attacks
or insomnia.
The twitching can also be associated with
dehydration and exhaustion. I know when
I was at my worst (the point where the
anxiety and insomnia were so bad that I
became depressed) I noticed that I wasn't
drinking much of anything. Try upping
your water intake.
Take a deep breath and don't sweat the
little things... They'll still be there
tomorrow.

Thank you very much for your support.
Its easy to say not to think but its
something stronger than us. But we will
overcome it. I meant for how long
continuously anxiety can last, I mean all
the time every minute. Could it be months
or so? Also, I agree with you that
medication helps. People are scared but
definitely many people overcame anxiety
with proper medications. I see that the
success rate is around 80%. Do you
beleive this or they are just promoting
drugs.
Thanks

For everyoen who has twitching please
check this website: http://www.Nextination.Com/
aboutbfs/
could be that we have bfs - benign
fasciculation syndrome which is as it says
benign but I dont like benign ilness as
well. Anyway, this is a good website
especially forums where you can find what
people thought abou twitching. It is
interesting that 50% of people suffering
twitching are doctors. I got my twitching
after I had very bad flu.

Hi there! If it is coming from your legs,
it could be restless leg syndrome, I am
not a dr but you might ask a dr about it,
it might be caused from a lot of other
things, you might talk to your dr about it
all!
Good luck to you all!

Muscle Twitching

This is what I have been going through. I
am a 43 year old male. I am going through
some stress and my anxiety is flairing up.
For the last trhee weeks my muscles have
been sore and are twitching. I have had
this before and it turned out to be
nothing. Of course since I worry about my
health my thoughts go to a life
threatedning disease.
Anyone else have this problem and how long
did it last?

might be stress related, its like your
brain is working over time and you dont
even realise it. im not sure but i think
it could be stress...

Muscle twitching can be a sign of a
magnesium deficiency, and magnesium is
often used up more quickly during anxiety
and stress. Worth looking into.

thanks, had never thought of that. I'm
sure there are supplements out there to
solve this problem. Thanks for your advice

I am so glad to hear that others have this
twitching or jumpy muscles. I have anxiety
as well, so I am glad its very possibly
from that. It is so aggrevating. I need to
go back on med for it I guess, but I hate
taking it. Is there any that is low on
side affects, weight gain, etc. that
anyone knows about?
I am going through alot of stress right
now and the twitching has been hangin
around, so I am sure if I pay attention
from now on it will be when I am stressed
that I do this. Thanks again for posting
about this.

It's good
to hear i not the only with twitching, and
that is not nothing terrible. My twitches
are tiny, but some last for a long time in
one area, and I get them all over
sometime. Usually in in weird places like
my neck, head, stomach. chest, between
toes, wrist, and anywhere you can name. I
am very tense at times. It's just good to
know what it is!

Hey.......im a 21 year old female and for
the past few weeks i have been suffering
really bad with anxiety and just this last
week i went to the doctor and she put me
on Propranalol 80mg for a month and i
think its starting to work. I do keep
worrying about a soreness and twitching in
my left side. It feels like there is
something there but there cant be because
the doctor has had a feel and there was
nothing. she said it was a muscle strain.
The soreness/pain is under my last rib and
down on to my lower abdomen and i get alot
of twitching in my stomach muscle on my
left side. I would love to know if anyone
else has got or had this as it would make
me feel a little better to know that im
not the only one!! Thanks x

Anxiety can make you twitch, try to relax
and take your mind off things, like try to
stop thinking about the thing thats
worrying you.

Hollie, I get the exact same feelings!!
I am 25 and I have had severe
anxiety/panic disorder since I was 20.
The symptoms always seem to be changing.
With my most recent bout I have been
experiencing muscle twitching in my arms,
legs, back, and chest; it can be quit
annoying to say the least. I get the same
feeling under my last rib on my left side
too! Like alot of people with anxiety
disorders, we experience anxiety due to
anticipation of things to come. For
example, I play sports, and usually one
hour or two before a game I have extreme
anxiety/borderline panic attacks!!! I am
beginning to train myself to convert this
negitive energy into positive energy by
treating my anxiety as excitement about
something good rather than anticipation of
something bad. Trust me, it's not the
easiest thing to do, but I am getting
better at it. I take Clonazepam as needed
and am suposded to be taking Paxil daily,
but I am stuborned and don't like the side
effects of antidepresants. Besides, if our
minds have the power to cause the horrible
effects of anxiety,panic,depression,etc.,
I believe we all have the power to reverse
the effects with little our no help from
meds. All it takes is a little practice
with alot of courage. I will win!!!
Best of Luck To
All,
Matt

I have had a muscle spasm in my eye for
the past two weeks. It started on a plane
ride back home from vacation. I have also
had several muscle spasms in my arms,
legs, and that lump I sit on. My
psychologist says it is all stress related
and once I can learn how to deal with the
stress they should fade. He also suggest I
get a physical to see if anything is wrong
other than mentally. Twitches can have a
variety of causes but if you know you are
stressed out then that is all it is. I can
honestly say I've tried everything to try
and stop the twitches and failed. It isn't
easy to rid them, that's a fact.

Thank goodness I found this forum. I
started suffering from anxiety attacks
after I got a kidney stone on my 25th
birthday (nice birthday gift from my own
body, eh?) and any time I feel ANYTHING
unusually, I start to freak out. A couple
days ago I started to get a little twitch
in my right side, below my last rib,
combined with a bit of gas and boom,
nearly full blown freak out. Reading here
that its normal pretty much calmed me
right down. Just wanted to say thanks.
