I have persistent twitches all over my body. Can this be due to excessive intake of antacids?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I would like to know some further details about your symptoms:

Are these twitches visible by eyes? Or these only felt by you without being seen by eyes? Have you noticed what triggers these twitches? Like when being more anxious, empty stomach, cold weather, smoking, etc? Do you have a focal weakness, thinning of any part of arm, leg, or hands? Do you have any paresthesias, tingling, burning sensation in leg, feet, arm, and hand? Since when you have an anxiety problem? And since when you taking tablet Effexor?

How is your sleep routine? Do you get sleep soon after laying in bed? Or does it takes a long time? Once got sleepy, do you have frequent awakenings during sleep? Do you feel fresh on awakening from sleep in the morning? How is your usual mood in day-today activities? Happy toward the sad side (thinking about past events) toward the worried side (thinking about future things, irritable, something else)? How is your appetite? Have you noticed any significant changes in your body weight?

Hello,

As per your description, these twitches are possibly fasciculations and seem to be benign fasciculations. Such fasciculations are very commonly seen in anxiety disorder patients. Though there are some other causes for such fasciculation, for which few investigations are being suggested (to rule out other things).

Rarely, a few cases of motor neuron disease may begin with such fasciculation without any weakness or thinning of any limbs. But may progress with time and shows a typical clinical feature of motor neuron disease.
