Tingling in face and hands , tiny muscle twitches all over

I am a 21 year old male all started End of December 09 .I have been having a slight pressure like feeling in my forehead, comes and goes usually there more at night for the last couple months. I have also been experiencing as if I’m off balance or the ground is moving below my feet for a brief second at times. I have also experienced numbness and tingling symptoms in my face and hands that last about 15 minutes happened 6-7 times. I have also noticed muscles twitching now in the last few days most noticeable in my calf muscles but seem to be all over. I have been to the doctor  numerous times he has performed blood work, Ct scan, Sinus scans all came back clear.  This seems to be all I think about now and has really started to interfere with my life. I havent felt like my normal self for awhile but seems to help when I get my mind off things. What could be potential cause to all this ???

Thank  you

I have been reading up on Magnesium deficiency and realized that it fits all the symptoms i have been experiencing .
I have adjusted my diet to take in more vegtables and greens but I started taking "natural calm " magnesium supplement today the bottle suggests only 200 mg a day .  Is there a certain amount you would recommend ??

Thank you

Dear Pete,

I feel like this is all due to -
1) Stress,
2) Magnesium deficiency
3) Improper rest to the muscles.

No other organic disease is in my mind.
I would suggest you to combat the point (1) and (3) , by yourself, by keeping yourself calm, giving good time for relaxation, sleeping adequately.

As far as the Magnesium deficiency is concerned, please have good diet of Soya, Milk, Butter, Peanuts, Honey, Wheat to increase the calcium content inside the body.
However if the same continues, the please inform me and we will do a re-analysis of the same, to rule out organic diseases.

Feel free to discuss..
Regards..
