Update - I went to the doctor
4 days ago
General
I went to my doctor for the muscle weakness and shaking. He said I was catastrophizing and that "probably nothing is wrong"
But he tends to brush me off, I sometimes have to see a different doctor if I want anything more thorough cuz he really does brush everything off but he was the only one available
But this time I think he's right, he said this is probably just muscle fatigue caused by anxiety and me not taking care of myself and having severe anxiety
So he suggested getting anxiety meds, which I was in the process of doing anyway
I'm still a bit weirded out my the muscle weakness in my hand cuz I can't hold my phone without my hand struggling and shaking but the muscles are probably just tired from other repetitive motions and holding my hand up for too long
The doctor did a few strength tests on me and still didn't think it's anything to worry about
I kind of want a second opinion but now that I've calmed down I don't think I need one unless this is a continuous problem. I've had really similar things happen before and it was nothing so I'm sure it's nothing again
I'm just really great at catastrophizing, like several weeks ago I was sure I was pregnant even though it was very unlikely and big surprise I wasn't pregnant. This happens all the time. I hate having medical anxiety, and I feel bad for my sister cuz she has it even worse T^T we inherited it from my grandma
But anyway thank you to those who commented and helped me feel better while I waited to be seen by a doctor <3
