Muscle Twitching - is it Anxiety?

I have very bad health anxiety that started in March of 2018...I had just had a baby who was hospitalized for 4 days when he was two weeks old due to RSV, moved into a new house the month after that & a month later had tingling & numbness in my hands, feet & scalp. I went to an urgent care where they suggested I be checked for MS although they believed it was anxiety...& it’s been down hill since then. I had a brain MRI which was normal...the tingling seemed to go away shortly after...but then i developed ear pain, ringing in the ears & eyelid twitching...so in March of 2019 I had another MRI- again normal...however when they suggested that I should have one more MRI, my anxiety went crazy & I then developed muscle twitching....the twitching is everywhere (arms, legs, back, stomach, chest, neck, face, hands, feet...). The twitching isn’t constant...lasts a couple seconds & stops. Sometimes I have one in my arm then nothing for a while & others it seems to jump from my arm to my leg. They range from internal to visible to making my shoulder or other part jerk.I will say, it does seem the worse the anxiety - the worse the twitching...I’ve had all kinds of bloodwork & an EMG. All the EMG showed was very mild peripheral neuropathy with no known cause. He said my muscles were fine....but I keep stressing I could have ALS. It’s all I think about. I have scheduled another EMG although my neurologist thinks it’s all from anxiety. He said the test was normal & it would have shown something since I was having the twitches. I just cannot shake the feeling that something is horribly wrong. Has anyone else had twitches like this? It’s been going on for 7 months with daily twitches...i’m losing my mind & fearing the worst! Other symptoms include shaking/trembling hands/arms/legs, heart racing/fluttering, feeling weak/shaky, etc. Hoping someone can relate & praying you’ve found something that wasn’t life threatening to be the cause. I’m not on anxiety medication because I’m still nursing. HELP!!
