... a particularly bad day I take propranolol which seems to help. However I have recently been getting a lot of muscle spasms i have had these all my life but they have been so few and far between that I never thought anything of them but now they are happening most days and often multiple times a day. The spasm is mostly my head jerking side to side multiple times and lasts less than a second. My arms and chest tense up too. This doesn't seem to be consistent with essential tremor so I'm wondering if this is very something different? It's not really effecting my life other than people Thinking I'm a bit odd at times. I don't know if it's worth bothering my gp with it or not
