Hi all,
I frequent notice a feeling like my chest is vibrating not related to medication. My hands will lightly shake too. Does anyone experience this? Could it be related to low O2 levels? I have been diagnosed as moderate COPD and I am not on O2 yet. Honestly, most the time I feel so poorly, I can't imagine what it's going to be like as I progress. I have more bad days than good where I feel SOB and chest tightness but this vibration feeling is driving me nuts! God bless you all.

BTW/ This particular activity appears less often lately...I have been on O2 ..5 Flow...but the SOB is more predominate....my O2 sat is almost always at least 96 Seldom ever cough or get an infection....but SOB increasing , all the time Also the tremors are increasing .....
My dr has prescribed me an anti-anxiety medication that often helps when I get SOB so with my medications & supplemental 02 I don't get SOB unless i rush or push over my limits.
it sounds kind of scary & at the least annoying..my prayers are with you.
curious?--does your 02 go low when this happens?
