could this be caused by anxiety??

[manuel_s]

i am 22 yr old male... i am just getting over a viral infection, had twitching in calves and other parts of body, twitches are almost completely gone, but i still have this weird buzzing feeling in my left leg, and i also have this pulsation feeling in my head, and other parts of my body, when i lay down i can actually see my body move a little from the strong pulse, feels like my body is gently rocking (is this something to worry about)  the doctor said its stress/anxiety. because i was so worried about having MS after feeling all the twitches and other symptoms i had. i also have been really tired lately..

my question is can axiety cause such a strong pulse like that?

i asked if it could be a blockage in my arteries in my head or neck and he said im to young to have that..

also i feel a little cloudy headed, but i dont know if this could be from my ears being plugged for a couple weeks.

thanks in advanced!

This is a "chicken and egg" thing. Does anxiety cause the strong pulse -or does feeling that pulse make you anxious? And the answer is, "I dunno." That's always the answer. It really doesn't matter, because either way, one tends to support the other so you get the same result.

The good news is that if you can reduce either one, then the other will follow suit. Calm your pulse, anxiety goes down; calm anxiety, pulse calms down.

You've been through some pretty miserable stuff and are worried about your condition, so you've got plenty of stressors putting the pressure on.

As for your doc, the diagnosis may be right on the money, but it doesn't sound like he or she is doing much about it. You might, therefore, want to get a referral to someone who's a bit more attuned to the anxiety angle.

But for now, the symptoms you describe are not inconsistent with anxiety -so that gives you a strong "could be anxiety" diagnosis from a non-expert.
