Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I've been feeling my pulse all over my body, even when I touch my fingers, it's like I can feel it everywhere. Even when I'm lying down to sleep, I notice this pulsing in my head. On top of that, I keep having these sudden involuntary muscle jerks, they happen all over, including my head, hands, and legs, even when I'm trying to sleep. I have a lot of anxiety, and I end up worrying too much about my health. I often find myself searching online and getting even more anxious after reading things. Can you tell me if these symptoms might be related to anxiety, or is there something else I should be concerned about? I've already had an ECG done, and that came back normal.
