Have you ever dropped something, then worried you're losing grip in your hands?

So today I grabbed a plastic bottle of vitamins. Pretty awkwardly I should say, I kinda grabbed it with my thumb, little finger and index and as I grabbed it I dropped it

And now I'm thinking of yesterday when the remote slipped out of my grip on the couch. Though again I can probably say I wasn't holding it correctly

I don't know what it means, but all I know is right now I'm constantly testing my grip with everything and it's making me anxious

I don't worry I'm losing my grip/strength, but I've dropped things so many times over the years. I'll be holding something, maybe my keys, and suddenly it's like my hand loses all strength and I drop what I'm holding. It happens. I think it's a fluke / blip in nerves.

Yeah that's what it's like! I'm sure this isn't the first time this has ever happened to me, but I think right now I'm just really aware of everything that happens to me

This doctor dropped something, then convinced himself he had ALS:

Spoiler alert: he didn't have ALS, there was nothing wrong with him apart from hypochondria.

Yeah, could just be hypersensitized nerves, where you're currently, uncomfortably aware of everything (?) Hopefully it's nothing serious..

Incidentally, if I haven't mentioned it before.. I like your user name. Jar of Flies is my favorite EP.

I'm kinda preoccupied with my palpitations right now so there's that. Don't think I can handle the stress worrying about this as well

I'm having an exam tomorrow for my heart so maybe I'll talk to my doctor as well

Yep. Or I trip on something (or nothing), must be neurological. I bump into something, must be an issue with my peripheral vision. Etc. So far the most it's turned out to be is "you need new glasses."

I compete in strength sports including grip stuff and I drop stuff. Very common!
