Neurologist 's  Response
Hello!

My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms could be related to low oxygen levels and muscle spasms, probably caused by the stress. As your symptoms are relieved by oxygen, this means that everything is related to oxygen levels.
For this reason, I would recommend discussing with you pulmonologist on this issue. There is no reason to worry about any neurological disorders.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes!
