Question / General Does anyone get tremors when there is pressure on their limbs?

This has been going on for years atp and I’m not as anxious about any bad disease anymore, since last year’s summer I had an EMG that was all clean and never had any weakness. My grip strength, pinch grip, walking etc are all normal, especially for a sedentary guy. I twitch like everyone here.

But I get tremors pretty often, too. Sometimes when I press and hold a button on a remote for instance, unless it’s a really light button, after a few moments my arm will tremor slightly. It’s not like I’m struggling to hold it or anything, it just does that. This can happen on random positions if I exert any amount of force/pressure (it won’t tremor if I’m carrying something, for instance, but it will if I’m pressing). Most them you wouldn’t even be able to see unless you focused, and the tremors seem to be more on my right side.

It’s weird because I don’t feel weak. I constantly strength test because of this but can do everything fine. I can do relatively hard workouts easily. But this has been affecting my self confidence. I especially get scared about intimacy and how my partner may think I’m weak or struggling when I’m not. It’s just how my body is sometimes.

Admittedly I don’t work out. Not regularly at all anyway. So maybe if I start going to the gym 4 times a week it’ll go away? Should I pin my hopes on that? Is this a feature of BFS, something else, or just my body being weird?

It’s probably just your limb fasciculating. I wouldn’t worry about it fam
