Muscle weakness and tremors

Hi! I’m new here but I have recently been down the *** rabbit hole and it’s been horrible. The thing is, I do have real symptoms which are concerning me. I am 22 (f) for reference.

It started with a feeling of weakness in my legs about a month and a half ago which I of course googled and found ***. I started noticing twitching in my legs, arms, abdomen, etc. I realize that twitching is a symptom of many things but I have been weak for a while. Like my arms shake after small exertions like holding my phone up for a while or carry around something for a bit. It also causes soreness the next day as well. I haven’t had any issues actually picking things up or walking or anything like that but the shakiness and weakness scares me.

The weakness has been going on for a while I will say. I am also agoraphobic due to a panic disorder so I live a very sedentary life-style. I went to my pcp for fatigue and headache issues and got blood tests done a few months back and I do have vitamin d and iron and b-12 deficiency. I fixed the b-12. the iron and d have gotten better but I’m still deficient. But even after supplements I’m still dealing with this.

I also have a very high heart rate and get tired extremely easily doing menial tasks like cleaning my room or doing my laundry (walking up and down 3 flights of stairs with bags in my hands) so much so that I have started avoiding theses tasks until I absolutely can’t anymore.

I have been diagnosed with panic disorder, ocd, and cptsd, and migraines but no other health issues. I am so scared. I have tried to set up with my neuro but awaiting a response and I worry that it will take months before I’m able to see them. I read so much conflicting info about this disease I don’t know what to believe. Mostly, I’m just so tired of this constant fear. Should I be concerned?
