Tingles or cramps

[Anxious lu]

I have posted about random twitches I get over the body who've I have been concerned about..

Maybe people have told me not to worry it is probably caused by anxiety..

This has calmed me for a bit but on my left foot two of my toes just felt tingly/buzzy and cramped slightly..

Anxiety starts again.. I had a clear MRI so don't fear ms but am terrified it's something worse

Classic anxiety symptoms. Too much adrenaline sloshing around, the muscles are probably tensing up in your toes and the tingling is all part of it. Shallow breathing can cause tingling in hands, toes, around the mouth or anywhere else. It can be random and asymmetrical too. We all breathe shallowly when we are anxious and we can do it silently and unconsciously.

Can you get this without even feeling anxious or bein aware your anxious.. I feel okay today

[Jules147]

If you have anxiety symptoms you are anxious. The mind plays tricks like that and the amygdala finds quicker pathways than your conscious thoughts can register and form words.

Lucy. I'm going to give you a hard kick up bum.

Anxiety seems to live in a anxouis person body even when you feel great it is still hiding in the background making you/me/everyone think that this niggle or twinge or spasm is something more that it is.

The sooner you get to understand that if you think back this twinge or niggle is something you may have felt years ago but because at that stage you did not have anxiety you never took any notice of it.

Take care

Hi Lucy, you could always try magnesium supplements as living as a student you may not be getting the correct amount of our daily allowance http://www.livestrong.com/article/105188-supplements-muscle-twitching/

I found when I started taking super vitamins& minerals my twitching got less


Also a supplement called l-carnitine some people use this it is also used for extra energy helps stopping the muscles getting tired out so quick it is favoured by body builders


But as with most things before you take any supplements you should check with your doctor or chemist first.

Oooh yes I did start taking magnesium supplements the ones recommended on here.. I probably don't get enough of anything but saturated fat and carbohydrate since being a student.

I was only taking 150mg a day and it did day you could take two but I was scared to dive right in.. I wonder if the twitching etc has got worse since I stopped.. Will start them again today but may up the 1 tab to 2
