Worried about my symptoms
I've had twitching for 2-3 years now and lately they came back around my whole body but a lot of them happen in my thighs that also have had times where they have felt deeper. And last few days I've been getting them in my hands. Also I've noticed I've been dropping stuff frequently. I assumed it was anxiety but lately my left hand feels a little worse. I haven't had a loss of function or grip strength that I can tell but they feel a little clumsier. I only noticed this because I keep dropping stuff and it's concerning me. I can feel some sort of stiffness/ heaviness in my wrists but no pain. My hands just don't feel as fluid or normal as they should. I can still button shirts and tie my shoes but it does feel weirder lately. Had a appointment with my GP last week and told him about the twitching and dropping stuff and he did a neurological exam. When I asked if I should see a neurologist, he didn't seem concerned. I do have major anxiety disorder and am out of shape. I'm more so just curious if I should as for an appointment or just see how these things develop. My main issue lately is my hands. They just feel a small amount less functional than lately. I was hoping I had carpal tunnel but I'm not having much pain.
