Has anyone felt internal vibration?

Hi ginajoy,
I too have experienced internal vibrations, although rarely — usually in the lower left abdomen, but have also on two or more occasions felt the vibrations directly over my heart (“cardiac thrill”), actually pulsating through the skin! Like you, this is post-catheter ablation
(for AF/AFl). I have an ILR that has not shown any sustained arrhythmia for 2+ years, so it is likely related to my MR.
I wish I could tell you some way to make them stop, they are anxiety-provoking events….they seem to be related to turbulent blood flow, possibly from a heart valve disorder.
At least we know it’s a real thing, and we’re not imagining it! 😉

Hi everyone!
I experienced AFIB a month ago and was in the hospital undergoing tests for 3 days. When released, one of the meds prescribed was 3.125mg of Coreg. After a week, the dose was increased to 6.25mg. I experienced a single vibration episode once each day the first 3 days, and on the 4th day had 4 episodes, all above the area of the heart. The dosage was reduced back to 3.125mg and the episodes went away.
I don't know if this helps, but it's another data point - if you have had a change in meds recently. I agree - it is certainly unnerving when experiencing it, as I had never heard of these symptoms before.
