Twitches

Hello

Im 20 and for ages ive had no problems health wise at all i dont smoke i dont do drugs i would say i have good Health im an average weight for my height i normally walk rather than using transport i eat ok

But just in the last month or 2 ive been startiong to make strange noises instead of the majority of my rifts,burps and hickups best discription is squeaks some people say there quite cute childlike noises i know one ive been making lately sounds like blossom said fast.

The other thing that happens is twitching my neck/head area twitches randomly and around the last 2 days ive had a bit of neck pain, i know that the twitches happen more often when sleeping or if ive had a drink (im not a heavy drinker though and i wouldnt be able to be spiked as i abandon a drink if ive left it un attended and i buy my own drink) a night out just recently when i got home and went to bed i started switching every 5 seconds or around that much then it eventually stopped.

The noise making and twitching can rarely go off at the same time.

Some people think im doing them on purpose some worry about them so this is what's kinda stopping me from seeing a doctor right now so im wanting some idea of what it is first untill i pove there not something i do for the hell of it.

Before all this i went to see my doctor about ADHD as i thought i might have ADD as i could never remember things and had trouble concentrating ive probably always had these problems as in pimary school i would be asked to get maths books from another class and would either get to the other class or just outside my classroom and forget what i had to do. A friend and my boyfriend have said its ADHD but im not hyperactive im quite a sit back and relax kinda person. i decided to go even though i have never visited a doctor since i was about 14 when i sewed my finger because some of my college teachers were pointing out just how much i would lose concentration even in classes i enjoyed.

The twitching is my main worry as if it is a form of epilepsy i wouldnt want to ignore it and let it get really bad to the point where it would ruin my life.

P.S. sorry if ive misspelled!

From my experience with epilepsy, these symptoms and sign doesn't match but a second opinion and diagnoses from your doctor seems very necessary right now. The twitches appears to me as related to a nervous disorder which can affect or manipulate movements in other body parts. It also seems like your having minor electrical impulse (seizures) in an area of the brain causing this. However, its my advice the you go check this out! since there is a possibility it may worsen. keep strong and take care.

Forgot to say the twitches affect my leg slightly

and the reason i am very adament that i dont take drugs is the woman i saw about why i have the bad memory thought i was making out as if i was asking me if i was on different ones after me saying no to them because i forgot what i was talking about to her (happens to me alot when i have long conversations)
