Body Twitching, Heat Rush, Occasionally Painful. Concerned
I am 40 years old and went through a traumatic relationship 2 years ago. Within about 6 months I started having anxiety attacks and all I wanted to do was sleep, sleep, sleep. Then I would periodically break out in crying. it did not matter where I was. Then I started experiencing like a rush of heat and like a fluid draining in my left feet down to my toes, then came burning and twitching in the area. Now the twitching are all over my body. To the point where literally it wakes me up whenever i go to sleep. I have done several blood tests that have given good results, but I am concerned as it sometimes give me pain. What do you suggest?

Hello,
Since all of the results have come negative, so there does not seem to be a bodily problem. You may be experiencing these symptoms as part of anxiety disorder. Apart from anxiety there is likely to be a component of depression. You need to be on medications for these, if you are not taking already. With that it should settle.
Good luck.
