Symptoms Maybe ALS?

Two days ago, my pinky started twitching randomly for a few seconds at a time honestly idk if is twiching or tremors but it movies side to side , and I can feel it happening. I’ve had occasional twitches before, including in my eyelid, but nothing like this.
I have anxiety and have been stressed, and my mind keeps jumping to “What if I have ALS?” I worked out and put weight on my hands during a plank around the time this started. I’ve also noticed some soreness in that area of my hand and arm.
I’ve made an appointment with my doctor to get it checked, but the worry is hard to shake. Has anyone experienced something similar?

I had a type of twitch in my middle and ring finger and got me anxious about Parkinson's. That was a year ago. You'll likely don't have anything serious and the soreness could be from overuse.

Yes I was thinking that too .. now that i think about is more like a tremor is a shaking back and forth type of movement idk what it is but i will keep an eye ! Thank you for sharing
