So I've had panic attacks for about 4 years now. Typical panic where I feel the world caving in, struggle to breathe, think I'm dying, etc. About 3 months ago I had a solid month of heart palpitations/skipped beats/etc. This was terrifying but after an ECG, they disappeared (for the most part) and LITERALLY were replaced with muscle twitches. At rest, my calf and leg muscles twitch constantly. Literally constantly. The twitches move around. Right leg jumps up and around hits my thigh then goes to my left leg then my eye then my rib cage.... it's ridiculous. I've overcome my fear that this is related to ALS, however I can't shake the feeling that it's in my brain (neurological) and that something is causing this, although my GP and dad (also a doc) say it's just stress. HOW can this just be stress? Comments and advice are greatly welcomed, been dealing with this daily for 2 months. God bless.
