Welcome to Connect, @gigiraj. I did find some information that studies the link between digestive disorders and internal tremors:
– The bowel and beyond: the enteric nervous system in neurological disorders https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5005185/
– Tremor in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3582861/

I’d encourage you to take a look at this discussion in the Brain & Nervous System group on Connect, where @tigertoo, who has been diagnosed with POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and Vitamin B deficiency, talks about similar symptoms:
– Monthly shaking episodes that continue to progress https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/monthly-shaking-episodes-that-continues-to-progress/
I’m also tagging @hopeful33250 to see if she might have some more thoughts.

I can imagine your worry, @gigiraj; how is this shakiness affecting your day-to-day life? Have you considered causes other than GI disorders?

is there a medical device (suction-vacuum) that will help remove excess air from abdomen?

Thank you, I came here because I have these symptoms, and its scary. On top of the fatigue, and living in a place where seeing a doctor is useless. I have been very worried many nights I am not gonna wake up. I get so dehydrated I can't take medicine to go to the bathroom. Idk what to do. Thank you for this information.

Thank you for the information! About 8 months ago I broke my tailbone. Since then I have also been having difficult large, but regular, hard-to-pass bowel movements. I started having shaking upon waking up. At first I thought it was my heart. But I have a heart rate monitor and it was never irregular or in sync with the tremors/vibrations. It was rapid and I was breathless. I was hospitalized when I also turned out to have had very low hemoglobin and low iron and needed transfusions and iron infusions. As I recovered the tremors kept happening, so I thought it might be bladder cramping that triggered other internal tremors/vibrations, since it happened when I awake and bladder was full. I also thought it might be related to pelvic floor dysfunction or my broken coccyx but I just don’t know and nothing stops it, not any muscle relaxer or any other med tried. It progressed to happening throughout the day. I have noticed a connection between bowel movements, and having stool sort of stuck in my anus (I do have hemorrhoids). Now it is happening almost constantly and I’m sure it’s related to bowel movements but I don’t know who to tell or where to go for help since my heart rate is fine and it’s complicated by all my other medical issues including pelvic floor dysfunction, fractured coccyx, chronic pain, bowel surgery years ago due to peritonitis from diverticulitis which lead to a temporary colostomy bag and then repair surgery which went fine and I recovered well but have also had back issues including herniated discs and sciatic nerve problems and chronic pain. I’m now having numbness and tingling with the tremors/vibrations and it is ascending up my chest and neck to even sensations around the lower half of my face. I don’t know where to turn or how to even explain this to anyone. Thank you for your information!
