Can muscle twitches in my hands and legs, chillness in my feet, and chest pain be GBS syndrome?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 19-year-old male. And I have been experiencing muscle twitching in my hands and legs for more than three months. And I also have occasional chest pains. My feet are too cold even when I am in a hot shower. I had my Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine 16 days ago.

I read about a rare autoimmune syndrome (GBS), and I am really worried.

Kindly help.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for the query.

Kindly answer me the following to help you better;

1) Do you have any weight loss?

2) Do you have weakness in the hands and feet?

3) Do you have difficulty in breathing?

I suggest you do ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), CRP (C-reactive protein), nerve conduction study, and electromyography. Meanwhile, you can take tablet Pregabalin 75 mg once daily and vitamin B complex once daily for ten days.

Take care.

Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, it is acceptable to delay the test if the present condition is post-vaccination neuropathy. But for the fasciculations, you need to undergo nerve conduction study and electromyography as soon as possible.

Thanks.
