The muscle twitch started 2 weeks ago. The tingling about the same time. They are episodic. I am not aware of any chronic illness such as diabetes or thyroid disorder. I am an accountant and use a computer daily.
Brief Answer:
cervical X-Ray/Blood sugar/Thyroid function tests/
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being in follow-up and providing further details.
With this clinical background,cervical radiculopathy(nerve radicles compression) due to spine degeneration or the disc pathology appears to the most common cause.So,I suggest you to get a 'Cervical X-Ray' done as the initial investigation for evaluation.
At the same time,I suggest you to get the following investigations done-
1)Blood sugar
2)Thyroid function tests
Further,please tell whether you are on a high frequency alcohol intake?Alcoholism may contribute towards these symptoms.
If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to answer else please close the thread,rate it and write a review as your rating will be of help to me.
