For the last few weeks i have been experiencing lots of muscle twitches and spasms and that added on to my fear of a Brain tumour is leaving me in a terrible state . Does anyone else here with anxiety get them?

All the time especially this last week. In fact as I type this I have a random flutter in my neck lol. They are so random.. Random places random times, I had one in my tummy the other day. I get muscle spasms too like my leg will flinch.. Pretty sure I don't have a brain tumour as I has an MRI scan not that long ago where I'm sure they would have picked that up?!

It's linked with anxiety isn't it I think.. That's what I put mine down to.. If you forget about them for a bit they might die down. My councillor tells me that your mind gettin anxious over a symptom only encourages it and makes it worse.

Yes your MRI would have picked that up . I wish i could get an MRI to put my mind at ease . I seem to only start getting them when my body is relaxing , maybe's its the bodies way of repairing the tensed muscles. Anyway thanks for replying , I'm going to have to trod along with these severe headaches for the meantime

Honestly don't worry I suffer migraines and had like loss of speach and numbness with it and that's why I went for an MRI.. After I was so stressed and anxious I had a headache for days! As soon as I was distracted moving and starting a new job and course it stopped. Mine happen most when I have relaxed. If I haven't exercised in aes and then go for a Long walk when I stop my legs twitch all over it scares me still but it's probably just where they aren't used to it. I tremble lately too .. One thing after another but I'm trying to ignore it. Are people allowed to Request an MRI?

I get this also and am an anxiety sufferer,
but might also be magnesium deficiency?

a good way to tell if you are deficient in Magnesium is to try the Magnesium spray.. if you are low in it it will cause a slight burning sting when you spray it.. as you use the spray over a few weeks and build it up the sting stops happening.. i tried it and i stung.. but when i tried it on friends/family they all reacted differently..

might be a long shot.. but might help??

best of luck!!

yep, I get this too. Some times in my right eye some times in the left, other times it's in muscles. From what I understand, very common with anxiety and I do know when my health anxiety is really high, I get more twitches and muscle spasms. I used to worry incessantly about them when they happened, now I just let them be and try to relax about it and they seem to go away much quicker. best to you!

this is driving me crazy right now. From what I've seen here, its pretty common x

Random muscle twitches in arms, legs, stomach, neck, eyelids = adrenaline. I got them loads last year and they scared the shit out of me (so I got more as a result). After CBT much less.

I still get them from time to time but they no longer frighten me because I know why I get them.
