Worried About ALS ...

Good afternoon, thanks in advance for anyone who will respond because I know you don’t have to. I have been having some symptoms and no matter what I type in on google als is one of the answers that pop up ...

I started with something that it seemed was tennis elbow to me and I thought was a joint issue in my elbow whenever my arm was straight ... then I started having twitching only in my shoulder ... the twitching stopped in the initial start place and now is body wide ...

I had some vision problems where vision would seem blurry and sometimes at night made it seem like I had stigmatism but it comes and goes ... not sure if this is related ...

now my left pinky feels weak as well I can’t tell for sure ... it drifts on its own away from my other fingers unknowingly but I don’t have a problem bringing it back when I notice it ... it curls on its own as well most times ... I can move it without my ring finger moving ... I can still hold stuff in it but it seems like the pinky is coming off and the other fingers stay... my hand goes to sleep whenever i’m sleeping ...

my left leg and foot also feels weaker when I walk ... the part that connect the leg ands foot feels weaker on the left side and feels stiff when I lift it up as if i’m going from the gas pedal to the brake compared the right side ...

when measuring my body with body measuring tape the left side as far as arms and legs are smaller than the right and my pec on chest sits lower as well ...

does this sound like als ?
