Suggest Treatment For Anxiety Attack, Muscle Twitching In Different Parts Of Body

Symptoms are not suggestive of ALS
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and recent history.
In my opinion, you do not have features of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and you need not worry about that.
Your symptoms are most likely due to benign fasciculation syndrome (BFS) and are getting exacerbated due to anxiety.
You can look for any muscle thinning (wasting) in any part of body. In addition, you can check for hand grip strength, functions such as lifting heavy weights, climbing stairs, getting up fro squatting position, etc. If these are all normal, it would mean there is no weakness.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
