All my life I have been super healthy , not much exercise but nothing to worry about except a border high cholesterol, also super calm, worry-free. Since April 2020 I have had similar symptoms as the ones mentioned in this thread. It all started with a couple of big palpitations. I went to see the cardiologist, run several tests and results were good. He diagnosed my heart is healthy. during the following months I could felt my chest different, like my heart was pumping in a stronger way, but I learned to live with it.
Then a night on March 2021 I started to feel like I had an electric toothbrush under my calves, I thought I had done a lot of exercise or had been standing up too much, but not It continued for some days. A week later I started to see my calves moving by itself and feeling tingles in them. At that point I request an appointment with a neurologist.
Dr was very experienced, and I trusted him, he heard me out on all my symptoms and request and EMI CT Scan, blood tests and other stuff. After 2 or 3 visits my symptoms didn't change, as everyone else I started googling my symptoms and the more information I read the more I was worried about ALS or MS. The doctor finally diagnosed me with Benign Fasciculations Syndrome. All test were good, nothing to worry about.
He told me perhaps I as suffering of stress and anxiety. Obviously googling my symptoms I was a complete panic attack walking man. I asked him for a treatment but he stated I needed to address my anxiety with terapy, he also prescribed Gabapentin if I felt I had a strong episode. Never took the gabapentin, I was afraid of side effects or addiction.
It has been 2 years now, I have less fasciculations but more internal vibrations in my legs feet and abdomen. Lately a buzz in my head is bugging me 24/7. It doest not go away.
I have done anxiety therapy for a couple of months, meditation and change rutines, but still have all symptoms.
Now I am looking for a second opinoin, nevertheless finding an appointment with a good neurologist is a battle. UM just scheduled me for May 2024! lol.
Anyways, glad I could read stories from people that have similar symptoms, It helps.
Thanks.
