Body vibrations when falling asleep or waking?

Hi, I am 40 yrs old. I was attacked 16 months ago and had seizures and broken bones in my face. Several months later started experiencing severe dizzy spells. They went away after two weeks then came back a few months later only leave again abruptly. About ten months ago started experiencing severe night terrors very vivid wit sleep paralysis where I would yell for help and yell " wake me up" in my sleep. Weird!! I felt like I was dieing in my sleep that's why I yelled "wake me up". About ten weeks ago I started getting these super intense shock feelings in my head. My chest would hurt and I would get shooting pains to my extremities. Now it's every time I lay down I get these. After I lie down a few minutes later I feel trembling and vibrations in my legs. Then it's in my head and face and hands. Sometimes I'll get a jolt and foot or arm will jerk uncontrollably. Whenever this happens I get this feeling the overwhelms me like I'm falling. Like I'm literally falling off a cliff. I am wide awake, mind you, when this is happening. It will get somewhat better if I sit up. I also get feelings of vertigo and dizziness now. It's getting worse. I have had two CT scans of my head and one of my heart. I also had an MRI without contrast and today I seen a neurologist who looked at my brain waves. Nothing has come of any tests. I'm scheduled for a sleep study, but this happens before I sleep, anytime I just lie down to relax. The ER gave me Decadron, Depakote, and Comapazine at my last visit because I was having tremors and just felt really weird and "off". This neurologist decided to prescribe me the Depakote and Comapazine today. To see if it would help. I don't want to just cover up symptoms if it even "does" help. I feel like it's getting gradually worse, and my life is unraveling because of these symptoms. No sleep at all anymore. I'm scared to death, but it seems like I'm the only one really worried. I know my body and this is NOT normal. Does anyone have any advice. If so please reach out....!!

It sounds to me like you have PTSD. I was trying to figure out what's going on with me and I just watched a video on PTSD yesterday. Here is a link to the video. I'm sure there's many more but maybe this will help you. It is with Peter Levine on utube. It's called Peter Levine's secret to to releasing Trauma from the body. As I'm a new member it won't allow me to add the link
