Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am experiencing muscle twitching throughout my body for the past two weeks. I feel weak and lost my appetite. Muscle twitching is involving my facial muscles also. I get twitches even during sleep, which make me stay awake. My muscles are weak and trembling. My voice is so hoarse. Once I clear my throat, my voice is clear.
My doctor said this is anxiety and my blood work showed a deficiency of vitamin D. Also, lymphocytes were low on the blood test.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern, and I would explain that your symptoms are not suggestive of any severe medical disorder.
Anxiety and vitamin D deficiency can cause muscle twitching.
Regarding your change in voice and mucus, I would recommend performing a throat swab (bacterial culture) for possible infections, including streptococcus infection. I would also recommend checking thyroid hormone levels.
I hope you will find this information helpful.
Kind regards.
