Muscle twitching all over my body |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: I am almost 17 years old and I have been having muscle twitches all over my body every day that continue to get worse for over a year and a half. I have been to the doctor and was sent to a neurologist and was given muscle relaxers. The relaxers make my twitches worse. What could be my problem? Dear Sadie: Twitches all over the body seen around this age group are commonly associated with anxiety or stress or both. You need to follow measures that help reduce your anxiety and stress to control muscle twitches. Avoid caffiene, smoke or alcohol (if you do have these habits). Meditation, yoga, relaxation techniques, aerobic exercises may all be useful in reducing anxiety and stress. A healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle would certainly help.
