Shaking - Anxiety Message Board

I woke up in the middle of the night last night, and just couldnt stop shaking. my legs, my hands, my arms, pretty much everything. Is this a normal symptom of an anxiety attack, or is it something abnormal.

could be anxiety or several other things including low blood sugar, tell doc about it, might have been a nocturnal panic attack

i dont think it was a low blood sugar issue. after i calmed down a bit i started to feel a little better. throughout the day today though i was still kindy shaky, not really visibly though, just kinda felt like it. i think it may just be because im still kinda tired since i didnt sleep well last night. any ideas?

Are you taking any kind of medication that you might have missed taking last night?

I have tremors 24/7 that I hate (essential tremors).

Besides the ET, the only time I had a really bad tremor in the middle of the night was when I forgot to take my effexor.

But like right now....i'm shaky all over, inside and out.

Hi ya,
I just thought i'd add that I shake with anxiety, really bad like a giant vibrator, I feel shaky for a time after almost exactly as you desribe, it is worth mentioning to your dr so everything else can be ruled out.
I was at the dentist shakin away, i cant hide it so i dont worry about it!
Good luck, hope things get better for you
