Internal Tremors? Don't know what it is caused by.

Posted by delaney162024 @delaney162024, Nov 17 4:28am

Hello.

I am a 22 y/o who within the past week have been experiencing severe internal tremors. I initially didn't know that's what they were called but its like when you are driving on a road and you go over a tarred over repair and theres a little bump. But it's constant. 24/7. This suddenly happened. Not to gross anyone out but I moved to a college apartment that is really old and live in the cold midwest so I saw a mice or two. At the time I didn't realize it was me doing the shaking and literally thought a mouse was climbing through my mattress it was shaking so hard. After checking every inch of that mattress and inspecting everywhere in my apartment, I realized there was no way it was and then realized it was me because I didn't stop shaking. That was about a week ago. Since then I have had non stop internal tremors. I am struggling to sleep. sometimes my heart goes a bit weird. I recently went on vitamin D 50,000 to take once a week and don't know if thats a cause. In addition, I have PCOS, am overweight, and have just above the limit to be high cholesterol. I also have anxiety but I personally don't believe this is anxiety because I can be perfectly normal and still have tremors, I have a doctors appointment scheduled for monday but am nervous its going to be brushed off. I can't live like this. About a month ago I had a doctors appointment and they did some basic labs and the only things off were the little bit high cholesterol, and low vitamin D, I can share whatever else they ran if that helps. I feel so distracted all the time. I can't stop focusing on the tremors. Sometimes ice helps. Sometimes heat helps. But not really. I feel like I am going crazy, my sleep is very interrupted, I am a full time college student. I need some help or tips if this sounds familiar to anyone!! Sorry for the word vomit. Not sure what to do. 🙁

Welcome to Mayo Connect, even though most are not medical professionals, hopefully a member with similar symptoms can offer some advice.

There are multiple reasons for Internal Tremors including neurological, long term COVID, medications and anxiety. So be prepared for questions about stress.

Prepared for appointment by writing down symptoms, when started, are they worse at certain times, what does and does not help. Bring list of any medications your currently taking if not in your medical records.

You need to be your own advocate but be open to any suggestions provider makes.

Are you seeing your primary provider or a specialist?

Hello. So sorry you are going through this. If you don't get answers then get a second opinion. Take care and Hugs!

@delaney162024 I am surprised your bloodwork shows lacking in Vitamin D when you are taking 50,000iu!

There are many reasons why you could be having those internal tremors and it is good that you will be seeing a doctor about it. As @roch (Laurie, above) suggested, make a list so you don’t forget anything you want to ask. I usually make my list on my phone or tablet and bring them with me.

If that doctor brushes you off, get a second opinion - even if it means going to ER, where they may even refer you to another doctor.
