Hello all, new here. I have been lurking on these forums for a few months due to a recent anxiety onset. In 2013 I was diagnosed with GAD and Panic Disorder, but went off my meds in 2016 before moving to Japan.
I now live in Japan and have been back on Zoloft 50mg for my anxiety and panic attacks related to my health. Seeing doctors has been difficult. I have gotten: 6 blood tests, 3 xrays, and a CT scan of my head/neck between two different hospitals. Everyone says I'm completely fine.
For 2 months now I've had non-painful twitching mainly in my legs (calfs). While typing this both legs are doing it. Doctors have denied me and EMG after prelim examination, thinking I don't need it. I started taking magnesium and do a TON of walking and some exercise, so it could be fatigue. Also had digestive problems and might've not been digesting all them vitamins well enough.
For the past few weeks I've been having a lot of trouble talking, my voice keeps getting worse. And as the days go by, my tongue feels more and more swollen. I have this urge to bite it after I talk. It hurts, and I'm trying my best to not perceive any slurring. Doctor has been on H2 acid blockers thinking it might be gerd, but symptoms are persisting even on them.
Being in Japan its really hard to get answers from Doctors thoroughly so I guess I'm here for reassurance.
So 2 months of:
Extreme leg twitching but no spasms
on and off globus
4 weeks of:
no voice and tongue hurting
I feel like I'm rambling now. The twitching makes me anxious, and now my loss of voice is making me anxious again. I don't feel exhausted and the zoloft has made me a lot more energetic and happy. But in the back of my mind i'm still freaking out about my health. I want the damn twitching to stop!!!
