Hello everyone,
I know you have probably seen this about 1000 times before but my health anxiety is really getting to me. It is effecting my every day life and ALS and MS is all i can think about so please help!!!
I am 20 years old and an athletic white male that has been playing sports my whole life. I was wondering what my chances of having ALS or MS are because i am really worrying about them.
Symptoms: (some of which my be related to anxiety)
Musles twitches almost all the time in calfs and sometimes briefly in other places (i do have a twitch in my tongue sometimes which is what really freaked me out)
(all of these seem to get worse at night or when i am dehydrated especailly the electric shock feeling which is my biggest concern) ( very bad when im hung over as well lol)
Electric Sock type feeling in from elbows to biceps, in ribs and in chest but only with certain movements or strenuous activities, especially when I'm surfing.
Sometime my legs feel tired when i walk up a flight of stairs for about 3 to 5 seconds and then they feel normal
So those are my symptoms of why i am worried, I am more worried about ALS obviously but MS is still a big worry. So someone people help me put my mind to rest. Oh and i do have very bad health anxiety.
ps. I have seen a pain management doctor and he said the upper body electric shock things were do to tightness and inflammation, i have tried stretching and taking anti inflamitories but they dont seem to help.
What condictions i know i currently have:
sinitus, very bad allergies, asthma, post nasal drip, GA, and Visual Snow
Thank you in advance for your input!!!
