Alright, so I've had uncharacteristic anxiety the last month. Most of it health related, but this health anxiety was probably brought on over real life issues. So I directed my anxiety over seemingly meaningless symptoms. After a few weeks of relatively high anxiety and worrying the worst was happening with my lymph nodes, I started experiencing muscle issues. Mostly just twitching. Not involuntary movement of limbs like my arm or fingers, but the more common twitching if a random square inch of muscle in a random spot on my body. This used to happen to me once every now and then, but due to the anxiety it happens A LOT. I've seen a doctor for the lymph nodes and sent him a message about the twitching, he seems confident that nothing is wrong and suggests seeing a psychologist for the anxiety. I am certainly going to follow all his instructions.
What I'm here to ask you guys is what is going on with my left arm. I'm 22 with no family history of heart disease, so I really don't think this is heart related, or at least signs of a "fault" heart. My elbow had had what seems like a slight twitch or heartbeat that I can feel on the inside "crease" of my elbow. Today it progressed to a feeling that is hard to describe. It's not quite a pain, it's more of a tightness. The same feeling is in my hand aswell. Mostly in the ring finger/pinky side. I have full range of motion, maybe slight nimbleness in my pinky, and if my mind was off of it I might not even notice it. As I write this, however, the elbow seems normal with no twitch, but my upper arm had a slight, dull pain that seems to correspond with a similar mild pain my my pinky.
So let me know what you guys think. Again this had been going on for half the day, so anything like a heart attack seems out of the question. But maybe this is a heart related anxiety issue? Through out this anxiety filled month my left side seems more affected than my right.
Thank you for any and all opinions

Ok, of course, the idiot that I am I google "localized twitching" and BOOM several results for ALS pop up. I forgot to add that I did bicep curls for the first time in a long long time two days ago.
