muscle vibrations

[salu_lycan]

hi.. i am a male.. 25 years old.. for some days now i have been experiencing these very strange muslce movements in my body..many forums relate this to stress so ill clear the air in advance... yes i have had some on and off periods of high stress...but i dont think that its actually the cause of what i am experiencing... what happens is that some muscles start vibrating in my body.. like muscles in the finger... it vibrates or moves for a couple of seconds and then stops..ther is no physical pain... i feel the same thing in my feet and now in my hips as well... but the process is completely random... sometimes its in the arm and sometimes its in my leg... completely random as i said earlier... i hope i have explained myself properly and i ll truely appreciate some expert quidance in this matter

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. Alopecia areata is thought to be due to autoimmune issues and may not be associated with the twitches. Stress may be an important factor. I suggest that you have stress reduction and more relaxation activities. If these persist, you may need to have additional diagnostics such as nerve conduction studies to determine the underlying cause. Treatment usually depend on the diagnosis. Take care always.

thanks alot dr santos for the reply

apart from these twitches, i dont have any other related sympotoms.. if i may add, these twitches only happen for like 4 5 times a day, not very frequent and have been there for the last couple of weeks i think..i also have a history of high stress and anxiety to the extent that it also resulted in a panic attack.. i also have another skin disease which might not have relevance to it .. its ALOPECIA AREATA... thats the whole story.. i have never had any other disease or disorder

Hi Steve,
How are you? What other symptoms are present? This could be due to fasciculations or fine twitching of the muscle fibres under the skin can be completely benign or can be due to underlying medical condition such as when  the nerve supply to the muscle is damaged or compromised.  For proper evaluation, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor. Complete neurological examination and additional diagnostic tests may need to be done. Take care and do keep us posted.
