What’s causing the internal vibrations and anxiety?
In July I was playing w my son when out of nowhere tunnel vision hit and I started profusely sweating face hands everything went numb heart rate flew up to 178bpm. Husband called ambulance cause I swore I was having a heart attack. They came got me took me to the ER where I was basically told find a therapist it’s just anxiety and sent home. These symptoms continued for the next 3 days to where the high heart rate and dizziness and internal tremors ended up putting me back into an ambulance again. This time the Dr said the same thing and gave me an Ativan and sent me home. This continued every single day along with not being able to eat and I couldn’t get in touch see my primary until the beginning of august cause I was a new patient of hers. So I started taking Benadryl to calm me down for weeks u til I got to see her, which helped with the intensity of the anxiety attacks and the nausea from not being able to eat. I list 25lbs in less than 3 weeks. I ended up back in the ER a few days later because this time my heart rate would not go down and I swore I was going to die and the internal vibrations weren’t helping. Lab work came back “normal” and again was told seek therapy. Finally saw my Dr told her what was going on and she prescribed me Fluoxetine 10 mg. Once I started it I was feeling better no lie until I wasn’t. Not even 5 days in and my heart rate sky rocketed I was profusely sweating like I ran a marathon and I was having insane hot flashes and mood swings. Told my dr and she told me to immediately stop taking my t cause she didn’t like the side effects I was having from it so I did. At my next appointment with her she basically told me she didn’t know what else to do and recommended I find a psychiatrist and prescribed me a 20 mg of omeprazole for my stomach issues to take twice a day. I felt like she gave up on me and just didn’t wanna do the work. This anxiety came out of nowhere, I wasn’t stressed prior to this starting. So I refused and had her do a bunch of lab work and asked to be referred to a cardiologist. We did lab work everything came back fine and the heart monitor I wore came back good too, but my C reactive protein was high in my lab results. Everytime I tell her about what’s going on I feel dismissed because she keeps insisting I need to find a psychiatrist. I have been in therapy since July and even my therapist agrees that’s this anxiety I have is a symptom of something else. When all of this started happening in July I cut out caffeine and most sugar out of fear cold turkey. And also quit smoking cold turkey October 1st. I have an endoscopy/colonoscopy coming up in January to figure out what’s going on with this nausea that won’t go away and this sternum pain and discomfort I have. I’ve never been an anxious person but this has completely changed me as a person. It’s given me health anxiety now also. I’ve never done drugs or drank. I don’t know what else to do, this has become so exhausting mentally, physically and emotionally.

Hello, I'm so sorry you are dealing with these symptoms without a definitive diagnosis. Our gut is tied to our brain, and our vagus nerve runs from our brain to our gut. It controls our heart rate, lungs, and digestive tract. I do a lot of vagus nerve work, there is a wealth of information online/YouTube on how to reset it, lower heart rate, and improve digestion. Even if your doctor finds a cause, doing vagus nerve work will and can only help any medical condition. The best of luck to you!

Look up causes of internal vibrating and there are a bunch of disorders some very serious to basic vitamin deficiency. It may help to get to the bottom of things with certain test to checking vitamin levels never know it could help as I’m in that very process myself. Good luck!!
@lala8153 and @lposey66 I wonder if a referral to an endocrinologist would help …?
@lala8153 Just wondering if you have any more information on what is going on? I also am experiencing internal vibrations for the past 3-4 weeks with no explanation. 44 years old so maybe perimenopause is a factor. I have some cervical spine issues which could be related but doctors can’t make the connection.
The only answer I got was that it could be due to perimenopause. The anxiety attacks and internal vibrations have stopped being a constant thank god. They haven’t fully gone away but they most definitely calmed down. Also just had a colonoscopy and endoscopy for my GI issues and everything oddly came back “clear and perfect” and that because I have these issues but no visible cause it might be something called “functional reflux”. The GI also said that I have severe inflammation and don’t know why. So Now I have 3 Drs My GI, My OBGYN and Primary care telling me they don’t know why or what’s causing it.
