I suffer from anxiety. my left bicep has been twitching consistently for several days now. can anxiety symptoms last this long? ct last year was clear

Definitely : Anxiety-related muscle twitches and spasms can sometimes last for weeks. Since it sounds like you had a full medical work up with no problems found, there is probably nothing to worry about. To minimize the symptom, make sure you're getting enough sodium, potassium, and calcium, and also take 15 minutes time out a few times a day to just focus on breathing softly and relaxing your muscles.
