Internal Shaking?? - Anxiety Message Board

sweetsurrender7 · 07-04-2007, 11:53 PM

Just when I thought I just might be able to sleep -

My stomach churning and nausea had finally subsided and I felt nice and relaxed ready to go to sleep when I get this weird vibrating/internal shaking sensation throughout my body. I looked to see if you could tell I was shaking but you couldn't. I thought I was losing my mind until I searched it on the internet and saw that a lot of people also have this problem at night as well. Guess I can attribute it to my recent anxiety episode? It seems better when I am am moving and worse when I am lying totally still. Does anyone else have this??

hi Kristen. Yes, I had this every day & night that I experienced my anxiety until I found meds that helped me. it was kind of like a course of electricity constantly running through my body & along with other anxiety symptoms, I felt like my insides were shaking. I saw commercials on TV about Restless Leg Syndrome & I thought it might be something like that type of feeling. Only the meds made my symptoms subside.

I have this frequently, though not constantly. I usually get it when I lay down during the day and take a nap. I rarely get it when I lay down to sleep at night, but I have gotten it at that time before. It feels like your whole insides are quivering.

I would get this when i started to drift off to sleep. I held myself so tight during the day that when I finally started to go to sleep it let go. Godbless

I also get the internal shakes. I didn't know if it was from anxiety or perimenopause or some nerve disease( with health anxiety I always think the worst) Anyway i thought it was very strange the first time it happened..It does not happen every night but when it does happen it is usually when i am just starting to wake up and then i can feel my body shaking, usually from the waist up..Has anyone told their doctor about it..
