I am awakened by what feels like a vibrating bed.
About 6 weeks ago I started waking up several times a night to cover up my little Shih-Tzu, thinking it was him shivering. I was literally waking up to what felt like the old-fashioned vibrating bed, (and I did not put in a quarter) for those of you not old enough to know -- these really existed once upon a time.
I only realized within the last week that this is me and not him, and this morning I opted to grab the computer and look up internal vibrations and found this. My tremors are in my torso, and it really does feel like my bed is vibrating. Cubby will be happy to know that Mom will stop covering him up. I would put my hand out to rest it on him and it would stop. So my movement or altering my position did make it stop, because it was me.
This is getting worse and I'm starting to experience the internal tremors when awake. I see where this can be caused by anxiety and stress, but this is causing anxiety and stress for me, first because I thought something was wrong with Cubby and took him to the vet, but now realizing it is me and this came out of nowhere, I have two medical issues that could be causing it, and would like to know if others are having similar circumstances.
One, I have an artificial aortic valve, that was put on a "recall" list two years after I got it in 2018. I get it checked out November 18th to see if there are any signs of deterioration, and to find if that, in itself, can be the cause.
Two, and what I feel could be more of the culprit, is that I have severe gastroparesis, where food in the stomach doesn't digest and can hang around causing toxins in the system. There are lots of things I can no longer eat, because they simply don't digest. Main question here is are there others on here having internal tremors that notice they are prevalent when you have eaten something you shouldn't have, or eaten too much, (which isn't a lot) causing delayed digestion?
Is there a different group with regard to internal tremors with lack of digestion, or are all of them caused by something going on in the cerebellum?
If there is anyone with similar issues, please let me know if there was anything you have done that helped.

@bobbelu I just wanted to respond to the "nerve damage cannot be reversed." I haven't been to my acupuncturist since Covid hit. I knew she moved so went online to get the new address and the old phone number to call an make an appointment.
The reason I responded is that under "coments" a gentleman who had lost the top of his thumb was having constant pain in the area of his thumb that is no longer there. He said it was driving him crazy, and numbness from nerve damage had started to travel up into his forefinger. He went to Melissa, my acupuncturist and he said it is 100% gone and he goes in about 2 times a year to make certain it stays that way. Sometimes it can be reversed.
