Hi all
I've been suffering from a 'spaced out' feeling for around 3 years now. I've had various tests including an MRI of my head (which was clear), blood tests, ECG, all fine... More recently (10 weeks ago) I had a prolonged tilt table test which took just over 2 hours (an hour lying down and an hour standing up). The standing part of the test really took it out of my legs. It was so uncomfortable and painful as I wasn't allowed to move and had to try to stand completely still. Anyway, since then I've had muscle twitches in my calves pretty much constantly. They're not painful, just annoying and having health anxiety has made me Google it which tells me I've got MS or ALS. I haven't noticed any weakness, I'm still managing to play football but it's all I'm thinking about at the moment. I went to the doctor who didn't seem too concerned, he didn't even have a look, so I don't know if I'm worrying about nothing (as usual :wacko:). Since I've been focusing on it I've been getting the odd twitch elsewhere, arm, thigh, bum... I do have to make it clear that the tilt table test really did push my legs to the limit but I'm just surprised that they could still be affected by it 10 weeks later.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Jonny
