Hello, hope you’re doing well.
I have a medical (I think) worry that I’ve been meaning to ask but I’m not sure what is the cause or whether it’s something I should go to the doctor for.
Over the years I’ve had occasional twitching on my fingers and certain parts of my bodies like sole of feet, or eye twitching and my arms area too.
Recently, from last year and increasingly into this year, I’ve had an increase of frequency of twitching on my right side of the body. I would get twitching at my thighs. But more, worrying, I’ve been feeling twitching sensation in what I think is my stomach and intestines.
It’s felt inside my body so whenever I feel that twitching feeling, I would press deep inside my stomach to gauge where is it but I can only assume it’s at my stomach and occasionally at my intestine.
The first time I got this twitching sensation in those areas, it wasn’t that bothersome and felt similar to the feeling I get when my fingers or eyes twitch due to lack of sleep, etc. But recently, I feel a slight twinge accompanying the twitching and am worried that it may be a sign of something dangerous.
I can’t figure out the timing when these occurs. I thought it’s due to allergy, but I’m only had past allergy with seafood but I’ve never gotten the twitching so soon or few days after eating seafood.
I want to check what’s the cause with a doctor but I don’t know how to prove my twitching because it comes unexpectedly. I also don’t know what field to check on for such cases. Is it a neurological problem or gastrointestinal problem? Is there a way to determine what’s the causes of these twitchings that have become more frequent around my stomach area this year?
As for my environment, my work is not that stressful, I do want to quit and enjoy an easy life, but compared to many other toxic companies, I have great managers and colleagues and the workload is bearable with occasional free time. So I don’t think I would be stressful for work. I do recall having eye twitch and finger twitch when I’m lacking of sleep. But the days when I have those stomach twitches, I only recall them being on days where I’ve been well rested. Allergy wise, I’m allergic to dirty dust and, when I was still young I was allergic to prawns but I’ve been eating them from time to time now with no allergy symptoms anymore.
