Post COVID: Anyone experiencing internal vibrations?

Posted by sharho @sharho, Jul 7, 2022

I have had long covid for over two years and a symptom began sporadically during the initial seven weeks that has worsened since a second covid experience. It began as a “flutter” in my chest upon waking, lasting 5 seconds or so. It is not painful just a new sensation I have never experienced. After getting covid again in February 2022, the internal vibrations have become full body and go on for forty seconds. It is always upon waking or falling asleep temporarily during meditation and waking again. Long Covid retired me from my profession and I am not under any stress. I had a recent cardiac incident (also due to long Covid) and wore a Holter monitor. I triggered it whilst having an IV incident: definitely not cardiac induced. Has anyone else experienced IV like this?

I had Covid over 3 months ago… October 2022. I noticed a head tremor on day one of being sick. I’ve been to 4 doctors. It doesn’t happen when im resting and only certain times a day . After a few weeks I started feeling the internal tremors in my head and arms and shoulders… feels like I’m shaking but not visible. Sometimes they last for hours. Some days I feel fine and think it’s going away , but then it’s back the next day. The visible head tremor does seem to be less visible so I hope it all goes away. I tried taking antihistamines as some have suggested but they made me so sleepy… even the non drowsy ones. Some say theirs went away after a year so I’m hoping .

Hi @kolaca01. Have had different types of internal vibrations for about a year. Call them my waves. Have found for myself rest is crucial to lessen them. I only do “needed” tasks early am after decent night sleep and try to coordinate them when already up getting food, going to bathroom, etc. Rest between each time up and then try to really do no other tasks, even calls, after 4 as they take energy that dont seem to be able to make up during nights rest. Hope this helped and dont give up as you will see small improvement and within months will realize how much better you’re doing!!🙂

I have been the same, started after the vaccines and although it has settled now, still occurs from time to time.

I have internal vibrations/tremors/jolts only when I lie down, and mostly in my legs. I can see my legs jump from them. Occasionally I will have one in the torso area and it is much stronger.
I have had long Covid for a year now and all the symptoms I have had are getting weaker.

Hi @lifecoach65. If you have a moment to go back thru past posts you will find a wide array of types of internal vibrations, tremors, and my so called waves. Have found many experiences and ways of dealing with them to hopefully glean useful tips for yours. I finally had sleep study and reassuring definitive answers given so allow the prospect of all avenues of suggested diagnostic tools and healing therapies for your healing future!🙂
