Body vibrations when falling asleep or waking?

Posted by cricketlips @cricketlips, Jun 2, 2022

After many google searches for the reason I feel vibration in my head, shoulder and arm just before falling asleep and waking, I found nothing that satisfactorily explained it. Of course anxiety seems to be a common explanation but there was nothing specific enough to help me. I am currently reading Incognito by David Eagleman. It discusses the functioning of the brain as an organ. This morning, going through my routine to get ready for work, I thought of a way to understand the vibrations. Similar to the hypnic jerks we experience occasionally just before we fall asleep, I think the vibrations are intended to arouse me to stay vigilant. Which is the fight or flight mechanism in action. So there is the anxiety connection. Originating in the amygdala. I was thinking Parkinson's or MS but my symptoms don't indicate those conditions, thankfully. It seems counterintuitive to be anxious and sleeping at the same time but the brain can do that. The cerebral cortex sleeps but the life support systems of the brain must stay online, obviously. If you thought you were in danger, sleeping would put you at risk but at some point sleep becomes absolutely necessary. I think the vibrations I have been experiencing are caused by my sympathetic nervous system and not a neurologic disease. Thankfully !

I have had the same thing since 2019. I keep a journal and record what time they wake me and, on a scale of 1-10, what level they are. This morning, 8-29, they were a level 7. They were in my pelvic area. Mine are in my torso area although sometimes I have them over my whole body. I can lay my hand on my side and actually feel the vibrations. It's like I swallowed vibrator.. They had stopped for about 4 months but started back about 2 weeks ago. I had an appt with pain management and saw a different doctor I see once in a while and here's what she told me when I told her the vibrations had started back. She said it's a blood vessel. Since blood is constantly moving very fast throughout the body, and a blood vessel could easily get pressed against something and instead of flowing freely it's interrupted and causes the vibrating feeling. When I asked then why had they stopped for 4 months and started back she said it could be caused by anything that causes that blood vessel to move....position of body change, weight loss, and I have lost around 25 pounds. They do the same as others, go away the minute I stand up and that is most definitely a position change. Sometimes when I wake up with them I can turn over and they will go away, sometimes they do not. I've not had the covid shot nor have I had covid. I'm thinking since it affects so many different body parts, some people have them in their head, hands, feet, arms, legs.....it can't be anything environmental because not everyone has had the same things as covid, covid shot etc. It has to be something going on inside the body. I've posted before I think mine is from an injury to the phrenic nerve when I swallowed a huge gulp of air while taking my meds. When I googled causes of vibrations, swallowing a gulp of air and injuring the phrenic nerve would do it. I thought back to taking the pills about 2 weeks before. I even had an endoscopy to see if anything could be seen. I hate the fact that they have started back now and I know my nights will be interrupted by them for who knows how long. I'm not a drinker nor a smoker. I take multivitamin, magnesium, E, Q10, blood pressure meds daily. I wish somebody would at least do a trial and survey to try to get to the root of this issue. There has to be a common element among all these people that are experiencing this. If it isn't environmental, because there aren't enough things in common, then it is physical and I would LOVE to find something I could do to make it stop.

Hi Carol i have same situation when i say something they don't believe me they think i have mind issue and always said this is related to Anxiety.I am inside this group when people have this vibration i would like to ask first do you have Reflux A ? Whether Acide reflux move inside your Esophagues ? second question whether you did any CT Angio check your heart vessel whether is closed or not ? for me happen in left side.

I did a sleep study too hoping they would show up. All that did was get me a cpap machine for sleep apnea. 🤣
I started a group on Facebook called Good Vibrations and thought maybe people would join to discuss the different types and at least there would be a platform where all the info was should anyone want to investigate it. I may have deleted it because after 3 months nobody joined but I will check it today. I think I'll make it a private group too so if anyone else here that has these internal vibrations wants to join, I would love to hear your experiences. 😊

I think better here serious make active all people i went to many doctors.I have Phd of computer science. I become more sick when i studied more.I went to my friend doctor he said Acid Reflux moving in Esophagus and reach to the Lung and this vibration because of Lung when you stand up totally will go.I think better you take one notebook and list all food and what ever you eat this is also make everything clear.to be honest i did this again is not useful 🙂
I need to know whether you are using Aspirin or fatty blood ? Did you test your heart by CT angio to see any heart vessel is closed. ECG and EKG and Holter is not enough because my heart three vesel 30% is closed. but this vibration is left chest in up close to the bone.I really too much research i become tired.No one can answer me.now i come here i become happy find people have same issue.I should understand really whats common between all of us.then we can understand problem easy.

So I'm experiencing the same vibrations. Low pulling and ill be fully awake for about 5 minutes and swear the bed is shaking a tiny bit. It's a super low pulse. I however have NOT Had any covid vaccines. I was put under anesthesia about a month ago and that's when it started. I also found out I have cancer so I been super stressed. Idk if the two go hand in hand. I've been keeping my mind busy though and last night wad a great night a work and came home and drank chamomile tea, also drank coffee during the work shift, wondering If mixing those two caused it to act up again. It's not every night so I'm super confused. I'm about to go under anesthesia again to get surgery to remove the cancer but I'm worried this is a significant problem and wondering if anyone can reassure me I'll be okay or have had the same symptoms and went under anesthesia and is okay sense I'll be under for about 3 hours...

Hi I developed the exact same symptoms that you describe I am 56 yrs old. 3-4 weeks after 3rd booster It all started. All doctors are perplexed, however I have a strong feeling it was the vaccine that did this to me, rather than Covid. I have had colds and the flu and nothing like this has ever happened to me before. I also have hypothyroidism It looks as though the government forgot to do tests or studies on immuno compromised people.
One of the largest oops moments in medical history. The “ RNA “ vaccine did not agree with my body. every day I read of more and more people coming forward with the same issues. The United Kingdom has had similar issues and has revisited the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine Studies are ongoing.
To be quite honest I would never have taking the vaccine if I knew this was going to happen.
I would welcome COVID-19 in comparison to the inner vibrations and tremors any day. Hopefully vaccine producers will investigate this and compensate victims, They know this is happening but are told to shush about it because vaccine equals money and lawsuits equal loss of money.
I was all for the vaccine as they said it would save lives however it has completely ruined mine. Hopefully we can get some answers and help unlike the screenwriter “Heidi Ferrer” Who took her own life. For many the symptoms are just too unbearable. RIP ❤️❤️❤️ Heidi Many people have told me they thought the vaccine was created too fast.
Thanks but No more Government needles for me, I’ll take my chances with Covid. Two of my doctors agree with me, While others have no comment In fear of backlash.
Sound familiar? These are just a few : many visits to the emergency room, EEG, stress test, Holter monitor, CT scan, sleep study, several EKGs, blood tests normal, MRI next.
help me out Moderna and I’ll Give you my house, my truck, my bank account,,, whatever you want please make this go away I beg of you. I too will be willing to join any study

Has anyone linked it to EMF( electric magnetic fields)?
Of EHS(electro hypersensitivity), which can be environmentally isolated
If your body now has been activated to only handle no frequency or energy around the body or room prior to falling asleep.
I vibrate for over 10 years but I can’t afford a **BUILDING BIOLOGY ** to determine the mG if more than 4.0 can be harmful to the body biology and target your weakest organ.
USA doctors are less knowledgeable than UK.
EHS suffers fall under ICD medical code of Radiation Illness. #research and combine some of the acronyms I mentioned.
Web site ACADEMIA has many doctors & studies pertaining to such illnesses.

Mine are early morning upon awakening. Cortisol levels are always highest around 5 AM. I saw heart doctor and finally discovered via a CT of heart, a 2 week heart monitor, and sonogram, stress test, and EKG. I have a rare SVT of the heart . The cardiologist's diagnosis: "Rhythm : Sinus Ectopy : APCs, PVCs, short run of SVT Sustained arrhythmias."
To calm vibrations/tremors/palpitations/flutters down, I stopped all caffeine. And when it still continued I stopped melatonin at night. I had the tremors this morning but they were less noticeable. I've been doing very deep breathing many times a day because I've been unaware of holding my breath. (anxiety) There was a lot of testing and evaluation by the doctor to come to this conclusion.
