Possible seizures?

For the last few weeks I have been having some abnormal muscle spasms or ticks, tingling that runs from the top of my arms to my finger tips but I have no physical movement?  Could this be a seizure?  Is this something that I should be concerned with or just blame on stress???   Please help as I would like to avoid a costly Dr w/no medical insurance.

Hello Dr -

You asked "Is the tingling/ spams radiating in nature..I mean does it start from the shoulder tip or any another particular point and run to your fingers tips? Secondly do you have such spasms throughout the day as well as night, even when you are resting and not using your hand? "

For the 1st question yes, it starts at the shoulder & runs to the finger tips.
2nd question, I usually dont have them during the day, they start in the early evening & usually go away when I go to bed.

And as far as diabetes or high blood pressure I dont suffer from either one.  My one & only health problem is Migraines.  I suffer from severe migraines.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I feel so sorry to see you in pain.

I would like to add few questions like: Is the tingling/ spams radiating in nature..I mean does it start from the shoulder tip or any another particular point and run to your fingers tips? Secondly do you have such spasms throughout the day as well as night, even when you are resting and not using your hand?
I would like to know whether you have concurrent illness like diabetes, high blood pressure etc?

From all that you have said its really difficult to tell you what you are suffering from. To be on safer side, I think you should better get in touch with a physician who would examine you neurologically and then opine.

I would be happy if you keep in loop.

Regards.
