Does Anxiety Causes Muscle Spasms In Hands, Legs And Feet?

I have been experiencing muscle jerking, numbness, and spasms in my hands and legs and feet. I went to a doctor who said it was probably anxiety and depression. I am taking anxiety medication, but it helps for a while. This has been going on for 4 weeks. Any advise?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have muscle spasms in stomach, thighs and foot. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like spinal nerve compression , alcoholism , kidney failure or hypothyroidism . I would suggest you to consult general practitioner , who may take history , check vitals and order blood test , kidney function test and nerve conduction test . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and nerve supplement like neurobion forte. Doctor may refer you to orthopedic surgeon for muscle and bone problem or endocrinologist for thyroid problem . Do light exercises like brisk walking , drink alot of water and eat healthy .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
