GI Disorder and Internal Shaking

Hi everyone. Well I'm here because I have been having the same internal tremors. Mostly at night but also starting throughout the day. Because I have been diagnosed in my early years with anxiety this is where the doctors always go to. I am on omeprazole because originally I would wake up with Tremor's just in my stomach. That all calmed down but with the stress if this past month or so I'm waking up with the racing heart which goes into sweating momentously and the shakes. It's starting throughout the day and I mostly feel shaky in my legs. When I sit down for the day, usually after dinner it starts. I'm feeling like it's really starting to affect my whole life in general because I hate this feeling and resisting it saved making it worse. I've had this problem on and off. All my tests have come out fine also accept for being diagnosed with SVT which isn't the cause. I used to think it was constant overstimulation and then my nerves take forever to get. I would appreciate any suggestions for calming this down. I have been put on xanax. I'm not usually a pill taker, but I'm desperate to feel normal! Even a turn over in bed will start these symptoms while asleep.

@renmon56 What does your Cardiologist say about how to live with SVT.. There are medications for SVT have have many side effects. There is a relatively simple massage that helps SVT... The Mayo site even says the following, "Carotid sinus massage. Your doctor may try this type of massage that involves applying gentle pressure on the neck — where the carotid artery splits into two branches — to release certain chemicals that slow the heart rate." ... When your heart is racing it is difficult to relax..
Maybe try Propranolol 10mg.. It seems to work for me except a few times when I get stressed?

Hello @renmon56 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
I am sorry to hear of the problems you've had with internal shaking. You don't mention how long you have experienced this problem, but that might be a helpful piece of information. You've mentioned having lots of tests, and I'm wondering if you have ever been evaluated by a neurologist? If so, what tests did the neurologist perform?
In order to sort out these problems, It might be helpful to keep a journal of these symptoms. Keep a small notebook, or recorder, nearby during the day and write down the time when these tremors occur, what you were doing at the time (f you are using a hand-held recorder you can dictate this information). If you were eating, how big of a meal was it and was it high in protein or carbohydrates, etc.? This might help you and your doctors to find some triggers for these tremors.
You mentioned that you have previously been diagnosed with anxiety. To control that do you exercise on a regular basis. Exercise of any type can be helpful, it does not have to be high impact. There are lots of YouTube videos that you can pull up that have seated exercises. Have you ever tried exercise to relieve the tremors?
I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you post an update?
