Anxiety & poor coordination
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello, I am suffering from health anxiety and I think it's affecting my coordination. I am obsessively thinking about every movement I make and I think it's causing poor coordination. a couple of weeks ago, it was found that I have low testosterone which my doctor think was/is causing my muscle weakness but now I'm freaking out that I have a neurological disorder that I read about and I have started to develop every symptom you can imagine from muscle twitching to diarrhea. anyone else experience something similar? This is all I can think about and it's ruining my life.

I know how scary these things can be. I went through the same thing with the muscle weakness and thought I had something serious.
I had terrible muscle weakness, muscle twitching, ringing in my ears, floaters in my eyes, and several more. My testing was all normal and all of those sensations were due to long-term anxiety and stress. The muscle twitching is called benign fasciculations. Simply means it’s nothing serious. i’ve had those on and off for for years.
Basically muscle weakness is pretty common when a person has health anxiety. Your doctor told you that the low testosterone can cause the weakness.
One thing I highly advise is to stop reading up on all these serious conditions. You are putting negative thoughts into your head and when you do that you are telling your brain that something is wrong so then you get all these sensations. and then you worry about the sensations and it’s a vicious cycle! I know this from experience.
listen to your doctor and if you relax your mind and body on a regular basis those sensations should diminish. not sure what your doctor wants to do about the low testosterone.
listen to some relaxing meditations for anxiety and do some breathing exercises. Otherwise you will drive yourself crazy for nothing like I have done many times. Take care
