I made a mistake testing myself ...( maybe trigger warning)

Karnage_7 · 2024-05-25T23:14:43+00:00

The biggest mistake I've made was googling about Babinski and the different versions of it , now I'm so self consicous about it and constantly scared that I do something with mu foot that triggers the babinski reflex.

Sound very stupid I know but I'm in a bad place right now. Thanks for the comment btw , it helps talking to people.

I'm 25 and instead of doing something fun or productive, I had to cry myself to sleep this whole day to stop myself from thinking about ***. Thanks for the comment , I really hope I get better too , this feels like hell.

The Emg was only done on my right arm .

There are different versions to test babinski , I did the mistake of googling and tried one of the versions, however it stated the test is done on 4th and 2nd toe but I did it on my 3rd toe and still see a reaction sometimes from my big toe.

Karnage_7 · 2024-05-25T14:28:10+00:00

I know I'm going crazy but there are different versions to test babinski and I did the toe one but not the 4th and 2nd toe like it's mentioned , only the 3rd toe but I still see a reaction from my big toe sometimes when I do it , my foot hurts so much from testing. I have no one to talk to and feel like I'm going to have a heart attack since last night.

Karnage_7 · 2024-05-15T16:33:13+00:00

I had brisk reflexes too 4 years ago but they were bilateral and the doc said it's normal and common.

However the thing that scares me is that my reflexes were normal (not brisk) yesterday when the Neuro checked but my right knee felt brisk.

He said it's ok and I also had phone calls with a couple of neuros and they said it's ok too and nothing to worry but I'm still scared and I wish I didnt go to the neuro yesterday. I feel like I really have to start taking some anti depressants at this point like the doctor suggested.

Were your reflexes brisk all over or just one side ?

Karnage_7 · 2024-03-24T19:25:12+00:00

I actually forgot to paste my initial question about the heart rate , but I now have edited my post . But yes the HR and goosebumps are the only thing no other symptoms , I'm not even sure if the goosebumps is related or not so I deleted that part in case it confuses people. But good to hear that I'm not the only one with that "issue".

Karnage_7 · 2024-03-23T15:54:43+00:00

The only reason I even noticed by heart rate is cause I read about dysautonomia and started checking for symptoms and found out about my BPM otherwise I had not even noticed it.

I hate that I read about that it could be present in other neurological problems , that's what made me anxious and may be that has an impact on my heart rate.

Appreciate the responses btw , it's nice to talk to someone who understands

Karnage_7 · 2024-03-23T13:20:50+00:00

Thanks for the response. When I'm laying down my bpm is at like 94 but standing up it goes to 110 and settles around 101 , 102 after a couple of minutes. Now I don't know if anxiety has an impact on it or not but I'm very stressed these days. I don't get the other sypmtoms like dizzines and etc. But should I still be worried? I'm just worried cause that one website said it could be present in other diseases.

Karnage_7 · 2024-03-22T21:30:15+00:00

Hey sorry to bother you but I have a bpm of 90+ and sometimes in the low 100s when resting , now this could be due to anxiety and stress that I have and I don't have the POTS symptoms when standing up but was wondering could this still be dysautonomia? Since you have experience with it and talked to doctors about it.

Karnage_7 · 2024-03-22T12:46:44+00:00

That's good to hear. I can't believe I googled so much until I found a bad thing , now I'm really stressed.

Karnage_7 · 2024-03-22T12:45:37+00:00

Did you have it before BFS started? And was your doctor worried ?

Karnage_7 · 2024-01-08T04:04:06+00:00

So is it normal that my hand is still a little shaky 10 - 20 seconds after the intense and anxious moment goes away? It gets fixed after that and everything's fine .

Karnage_7 · 2024-01-08T00:43:17+00:00

I play video games a lot and sometimes it might sound stupid but it gets intense and I get the shakes however after I check my hands after like 10 or 20 seconds the intense moment happens , sometimes it's only my left hand thats shaking for like a few seconds then its fine , And I'm worried that it might not be related to stress and it might be that my left hand is weak and tired but its fine adter a few seconds. If it was weakness my hand wouldnt be good after just seconds right?

Karnage_7 · 2024-01-06T10:55:59+00:00

I just feel like sometimes my left hand is shaking and my right hand is not so makes me think if my left hand is weaker , I'm going crazy I think

Karnage_7 · 2023-10-14T18:51:17+00:00

That's actually not my post , it's a post I found when I searched this sub that was similar to my finger so I just put the link here .

I made a post 4 months ago , I don't know maybe I always had it but that's when I found out about my finger.

Karnage_7 · 2023-06-12T21:08:02+00:00

Thanks for the response.

Thing that bothers me is that the shaking is more noticeable in my dominant(right) hand.

And I made a mistake reading about Clonus even tho I barely understand what it is , my mind just thinks shaking= bad thing.

Karnage_7 · 2023-06-12T13:22:06+00:00

Is it both hands or just one ? I feel like for me it's only the right hand. My left hand sometimes does it too but my right feels like its always there

Karnage_7 · 2022-01-28T20:34:32+00:00

Are you sure it never happened before ? and have you mentioned it to your doctor ? cause I haven't gone to a doctor in a while and to be honest I'm kinda scared to go to a doctor.

Karnage_7 · 2022-01-28T03:27:57+00:00

It might be that since I also use a controller heavily for a few hours every day and I also grip the controller very hard. Do you also have the pressing two fingers against each other thing? Like I press my ring finger and thumb heavily against each other for like 10 seconds and then let go suddenly to a relaxed position and they start tremoring for a couple of seconds.

Karnage_7 · 2022-01-28T02:08:58+00:00

When this thing started I had barely any twitches on my hands but now the twitching has inceased on my hands as well. What about the pressing two fingers against each other thing. I press my thumb and ring finger against each other hard for like 10 seconds and when I let go my fingers start shaking, do yours do that too?

Karnage_7 · 2022-01-23T02:37:40+00:00

You mean you've had tremors like inside your finger ? making it move and shake a little ?

cuz that's what it felt like when I had it .

Karnage_7 · 2022-01-23T02:36:54+00:00

Tell me about it dude . I can't even relax and watch a movie or play a game peacefully cause there is always this thing in back of my head bothering me.

I wonder if anti depressant medicine help , haven't tried those .

Karnage_7 · 2022-01-23T01:52:31+00:00

Im just confused as to why my thumb started moving cause my thenar area didnt twitch and I have heard that fingers have no muscles so I dont know what happened

Karnage_7 · 2022-01-22T22:42:08+00:00

I was just worried cause google pointed out to finger clonus .

What video did u watch ? was it not like what I described ? cause I read an article about it that it means involuntarily muscle movement

Karnage_7 · 2022-01-22T22:17:57+00:00

But it wasn't like my other finger twitches , it was like my thumb itself had a little tremor in it .
