Unsure about my symptoms

[sportygirl]

Hi everyone!
I am 19 years old and have recently been experiencing strange symptoms which doctors have diagnosed as anxiety but I feel that I am a little in denial. I am not a panicky person and do not experience social anxiety or anything like that. I feel that I am getting all of the physical symptoms of anxiety but no other symptoms such as worry. A big symptom I am having is twitching and spasms of the muscles and was wondering whether anyone else has experienced this? I am not currently on any medication for anxiety and I do a lot of sport and I don't want this to affect it. I feel like I haven't really got anyone to talk to about this and would really love some reassurance as I want to be able to prevent this and carry on with my life.
Thank you any help/comments are appreciated!

Muscle twitching isn't unheard of with people who do a lot of sports. It's quite common. You might need more salt in your body. Maybe calcium or magnesium.

Thanks for your reply Eyji1 do you know if muscle twitches because of anxiety can have a detrimental effect on sports performance ? I feel like it's a vicious cycle, the more twitches I'm getting, the more I'm concerned about their effect on my sport.

I was also diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 12 and didn't know whether these twitches could be something to do with that
