    Your age? Other health problem like diabetes, overweight, spine injury/problems?

    Have you talked to a doctor yet about this?

    I'm 18, 6'1, about 130lb. I haven't gone to a doctor. Its been about 2 months of on and off. I asked a chiropractor and he said it could be stress, but I wanted to see if there were any opinions to give me an idea of what doctor to start with..

    Start with your family doctor, if you need a specialist your family doctor should refer you to one. But start with your family doctor, he/she will likely run tests to determine what specialist, if any, you need.

    Sadly there are too many things this could be to narrow down what it is online. You really should see your doctor right away.

    Good luck.

    Thank you, but there's no way to get a general idea? It's been happening all day and it annoys me a ton. The only reason I haven't gone to a doctor is because I'm uninsured and to just test everything would have me paying bills for life. I was thinking a neurologist would be the best place to start

    Like Alty said, it could be any number of things and more than one thing. The family doctor would poke and tap and have you move different ways, get some basics done, and take your medical history (if he/she doesn't have it already). Really, that's the best place to start. He may then refer you to a neurologist or to someone else.
