GI Disorder and Internal Shaking

Posted by gigiraj @gigiraj, Feb 15, 2019

Hi all. I'm a 21 year old South Asian female and I have been having GI issues for about five years--mainly along the lines of constipation. I do have bowel movements every day but it takes a long time & I am rarely fully cleared out. These GI issues are always accompanied by other health issues (gas, pressure in head, etc). Recently, some scary new conditions have manifested: In the past few weeks, there have been times where my heart starts beating wildly and very fast. Sometimes, when I'm tired and constipated, my entire body feels like its vibrating internally; the shakes aren't visible but it feels like all my muscles are quivering. At this point, I feel a constant shaking/quivering within my body, especially in my heart cavity.

I have had TWO EKG's and both came back normal. All lab tests for diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, etc came back within normal limits. I am very concerned about this internal shaking. My dad says he found something about how GI disorders can impact muscoskeletal system and since the heart is a muscle, it's contracting and being affected. But I wanted to know if anyone here can help!!!!!!! If anyone knows anything at all please please please let me know!!!!!

Ten years ago I had internal shaking as an undiagnosed symptom for 18 mos. It turned out that it was thought to be a neuro toxin called Ciguterra … it eventually subsided with time, B6 and brown rice ( both help eliminate toxins). Primary symptom was also reversing hot and cold to the touch ( warm water felt cool and vice versa).

It was incredibly challenging to deal with. likely caused by eating eel sushi.

Best to you to find your cause and solution.

Hello, did you ever get a diagnosis on what the symptoms were? I have something similar.

Regarding internal tremors, I found something totally by accident that those of you afflicted by this might want to look into. I started taking a "liver support" pill that I had taken several years ago when I was having problems with a "thickening" in my liver. The pain on my right side started up again a few weeks ago, so I re-ordered this liver support pill. THE FIRST DAY I TOOK IT THE TREMORS ALMOST STOPPED COMPLETELY. There are only a few ingredients in this pill, so I started looking them up individually, as most of them, like Alpha Lipoic Acid, I take on their own already. The main ingredient in this liver support pill is 800 mgs of N-Acetyl Choline (NAC). I have gone for two days with no tremors whatsoever during the day and only a few at night. I couldn't believe this, but I put into search engine, "benefits of N-Acetyl Choline" and the NAC is in there that it helps with tremors. Only downfall for me is it seems to be constipating, but there are many things to find OTC to fix this. I already take Triple Magnesium Complex before bedtime to aid with sleep and regularity and it was working beautifully until I added this liver support pill. I wanted to let everyone know because I found this totally by accident and had no idea it would get rid of the tremors that woke me up to a vibrating bed for over a month.
