Internal vibration

I should have said I get these tremors, vibrations, only when I’m in bed. Never when I’m up and active. They are infrequent and seem to occur when I’m semi conscious. That period between sleeping and awakening.
Most odd and if they do get more frequent then for sure I’ll see my GP but for now, I let them pass & don’t give it another thought.
It’s definitely not heart palpitations. I know what those feel like & this is quite different.
Our bodies are amazing things!

Yes TheodoraP, they do ring a bell.

My first thought was: Where do you live? and Do you get these feelings in bed or when your feet are in contact with the floor?
If you're a near-neighbour, could this be happening when engineers are working on the HS2 route?

My second thought: Help, I've been dismissing these vibrations but maybe they mean something medical.

I don't know if I'm right in saying that tremors relating to Parkinson's are external. The symptoms you describe Theodora I think sound similar to mine. The menopause throws up so many strange feelings, possibly this is related to that. For peace of mind I think you should make an appointment with your GP and discuss the matter and maybe have some tests done. I think my reluctance to do that initially was the fact that I thought what I was experiencing was very bizarre and it was hard to explain. I think it's good you have opened up the matter as a discussion and you can see you are not alone with what your are experiencing.

So great to read these posts I was so very worried because when you Google internal tremors it brings up Parkinsons I have been so worried and never going to Google health issues ever again!

trouble is that when you ask on here we may google it!
which is what I did, but did not tell you.. of course...other causes are the menopause and many other minor things.....

Some nights I just can’t settle/relax enough to get to sleep and then I’ve commented that it feels as though I’m fizzing. Is that the same sort of thing?

It's not palpitations I have had that. It's just tremors but inside the body and not outside I was so scared it might be Parkinsons

* heart beat

It sounds like palpitations which can be very frightening or the ‘racing heart best’ I know well from a brush with hyper thyroidism a few years ago. Joint pain can also be a symptom of an over active thyroid so it might be worth getting it checked out. Symptoms are different in older people - my diagnosis took a year and was made by…. Me after Googling my three main symptoms. Good luck.

Thanks for the tips appreciated

I call it zizzing and, for me, it's as if I've drunk way too many double espresso. I think it's some kind of reaction fighting internal inflammation as I very often come down with flu like symptoms afterwards. It's been worse since struggling with long covid and also when I've done too much. Can only suggest getting as much rest as possible whenever you can TheodoraP and keep hydrated as that seems to help too. Hope it eases for you soon

Apologies for earlier flippancy. Sounds awful, sympathy to all who suffer this condition.

So sorry for everyone who is afflicted with this. Anything that disturbs sleep must be awful.

As others have said I feel like an inner tremor, usually when I wake at night have also had Joint issues in my hands

I almost reported it, but glad I didn’t, as it seems it is a genuine condition ?

To clarify for me it is an internal shuddery feeling in the chest area and at times the feeling of strong pulses as Nongran said maybe something to do with adrenalin surges. Like others, have had heart checks. I found it alarming when I first had these feelings, but try and breath deeply and ignore it now.

I've had it too. It is very hard to explain, although I've Googled "internal vibrations" on occasions it seems it is a condition that pertains more to women. Have often wondered whether it is yet another symptom of the menopause, one practice nurse told me that there are just so many unofficial ones too numerous to mention. I think one of the sites I was directed to was one for hypothyroidism, as a Thyroxine take I wondered too whether an under active thyroid is also a factor.

I get a strange feeling in my midriff of being very cold and shivery. Is that the same thing?

Me too - I was the first reader as wide awake in the early hours. Thought it was potentially a bit ‘off’ and have actually reported. Apologies if it’s a real thing!

I do think strange things can happen when you sleep. I used to get what felt like electric shocks just as I fell asleep. Very frightening, it felt as though I'd been plugged into a socket and shot through my body like a high voltage. I eventually realised it was my body releasing stress, presumably through my nervous system. Maybe this is something similar.

Me too Esspee, and yet I opened it too. Move over on that naughty step.

Oh dear, I misread the heading and thought this was an Anne Summers type post. ?

Go and sit in the corner!

I got it as part of the menopause and it was quite frightening at first. Got all heart checks done and all was fine so l relaxed a bit over it. I had also seen online that others were experiencing it so that helped. I presumed it was hormonal as it has now gone. Not nice though and can make you very anxious.

I get it too! Doesn’t bother me and it’s not too often. It’s my entire torso but not legs or arms. Weird sensation.
I think of it as unspent adrenaline that I’ve built up for some reason & not got rid of maybe? Mad but helps me keep it in perspective.
I’m not going to bother my GP.
