So, you’ve noticed your muscles twitching lately—randomly, subtly, sometimes just enough to make you pause and wonder what’s going on. If you’re like me, that curiosity can quickly turn into Googling symptoms at midnight, spiraling through worst-case scenarios. But what if I told you that daily muscle twitching might not be a sign of something…
Ever felt that odd little twitch in your eye or muscle when you’re stressed out? Yeah, me too. It’s that involuntary flicker that makes you wonder if something’s wrong with your body. I can’t count how many times I’ve Googled “does anxiety cause muscle twitching” at 2 a.m. Spoiler alert: It absolutely can. But let’s…
If you’ve ever caught yourself slouching at your desk or holding your breath without realizing it, you’re not alone. I never really paid attention to how anxiety crept into my posture and breath patterns until I started feeling physically drained all the time.
