Anxiety Support Group

Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

I wanted to share this web page: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/517560.html

Many of us complain about weird sensations in our chest area.

I wake up in the morning and my chest vibrates, tremors, shakes, etc., internally. When I feel my pulse it is normal and not in sync with the shaking inside. The outside of my body doesn't move...only the inside.

I was thinking it was maybe chemicals our body shoots into the system to awaken us in the morning. Sometimes I see smalls dots while my eyes are closed when this happens.

I think it only happens for less than a minute. Maybe only for 10 seconds or so. But, it is a symptom that can get my worrying going.

Hope this information is helpful to someone.

Besty,

OMG you just described me! I have been telling people for the longest time that the Inside of my body feels like an earthquake, yet the outside of my body is totally normal. It is stranger.

The other thing is the white spots I see when I close my eyes, I thought that was weird and even asked my eye doc about it last week. He said my eyes are fine. I will check out the web site!!!!!!

Hi, i have the internal vibration too,i have tried to explain this feeling to friends, only getting strange looks in return, i only get it on waking up, i am sure my bodys moving with the vibration feeling(strange), i described it as something running around the inside of my body.(god that sounds wierd)

I also have this every morning.

dazedanconfusedd 01/15/2009

This is so weird. I tried so many times to explain this to people and doctors only to get the strangest looks like I was some space alien! I only get it upon waking up.

Like I said I explained it as earthquake tremors inside my body but like vonnyzzz said.....
"i described it as something running around the inside of my body."

That is a good way to explain it too. I thought it was just me!

Well, this is a great benefit of this site. We are accutely attune to our bodies...and once we know someone else has it and that it isn't the symptom of some rare illness it takes the fear out of it.

I think we are feeling the "wake me up" chemicals that are normally running in everyone. But, we are so sensitive (and that contributes to panic/anxiety) we feel it. Or, maybe we wake up 30 seconds too early so we feel it.

I was getting EXACTLY the same thing, and it started out like that too, and progressed to being constant. My doctor put me on cymbalta and slowly they've gone away, infact I'm on day 9 right now (7 days on 30mg and 2 on 60mg) I've found that they've stopped in the last 2 days since taking the higher dosage. I know how scary it is, I thought I was dying the one night. It's terribly annoying, and mine wouldn't go away with xanax, so go see your doctor!

I've noticed i tremble so much inside I have trouble writing-even my rent check. And if I drink coffee-forget it. Klonopin does help somewhat but I hate meds-steve

Today these vibes/tremors didn't scare me since I know I am not alone. I actually lay in bed and counted to see how long it lasted.

One-thousand and one, etc. I counted to 10.

I doubt this symptom will be able to make me anxious today, though, knowing that I am not alone.

I have been trying to tell my dr and husband this for about a yr now.

deleted_user 01/16/2009

I too get these feelings. I tend to get them more as the night wears on. I very rarely have these symptoms in the morning. I hate this feeling. I hate not having control.

I just had an early mornin tremor and when I googled it, I was brought here to DS to my own post! :)

Anyway, I did ask my doctor and he said adrenaline wakes us in the morning and we could feel it in our chests.

It might be something as easy as that!

deleted_user 02/06/2009

Thanks for the site. I feel the same way but I also feel like bugs are crawling all over me. I'm going to check it out right now.
thanks again

deleted_user 02/06/2009

This is why I love this site so much. You learn so much and get understandable explanations. I get this too. When I am feeling particularly low and it gets worse I begin to worry that I have eplipesy (I know I don't but I guess you know how the worries escalate!!!)
Thanks for posting this

I had these internal tremors in my legs, hands, and heart area too,
Since my dog and wide also sleep in the bed I would ask if she was shaking the bed or if our dog was having some mild seizure. It always turned out to be something I felt alone and when my wife checked my pulse it was always normal. Since starting Chlonozepam I have been mostly tremor free, I just don't want to stay medicated. The medication slows me down and makes me stumbly.
