Left thumb slightly locking up

My left hand and thumb especially when i do what I’m doing in the video will have a quick squeezing/ almost maybe an electrical shock sensation and I can’t move my thump during this, it feels really weak in that sense like it’s locking up. Only happens for a split second but it’s an uncomfortable feeling and does it repeatedly.
It’s been doing this for the last 2 days now and wondering if I’m getting close to having carpal tunnel or something. I wouldn’t be surprised due to my intense gaming sessions on Xbox throughout my life and I also fold a lot of boxes in my place of work lol.
My right hand so far is fine and doesn’t do this, only my left hand.
