GI Disorder and Internal Shaking
Hi all. I'm a 21 year old South Asian female and I have been having GI issues for about five years--mainly along the lines of constipation. I do have bowel movements every day but it takes a long time & I am rarely fully cleared out. These GI issues are always accompanied by other health issues (gas, pressure in head, etc). Recently, some scary new conditions have manifested: In the past few weeks, there have been times where my heart starts beating wildly and very fast. Sometimes, when I'm tired and constipated, my entire body feels like its vibrating internally; the shakes aren't visible but it feels like all my muscles are quivering. At this point, I feel a constant shaking/quivering within my body, especially in my heart cavity.
I have had TWO EKG's and both came back normal. All lab tests for diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, etc came back within normal limits. I am very concerned about this internal shaking. My dad says he found something about how GI disorders can impact muscoskeletal system and since the heart is a muscle, it's contracting and being affected. But I wanted to know if anyone here can help!!!!!!! If anyone knows anything at all please please please let me know!!!!!

Covid and everything associated with it did a number on the mental health of millions.
You are absolutely right.
I’ve never experienced anything like this in my body. And so many say they have not felt the same since Covid.
Thanks for your suggestion. I’m becoming way more mindful of what I eat. Cutting out extra sugars doesn’t stop it from happening, but seems to help. My husband is vegan and I learn a lot from him too. Thanks.
How long have you had internal shaking? How old are you?

1 ReactionI’m a young 75 and I’ve had the shakes for about 5 years, not on outside of body though, just inside. It’s so odd. Might have something to do with too many or not enough bowel action.
I feel it’s digestive related.
My doctor thinks it’s more anxiety. But it will happen even when I’m not anxious.
Had your doctor been able to tell you why this happens?
No they don’t know what it is. I’m not anxious by nature. I think it’s related to digestion also. It seems to be better now, I am eating more ( underweight) maybe that helps. Trying to eat clean and sleep!
Yes. Makes sense.
When this first started happening, I remember I didn’t have time for lunch and grabbed some very sugary cookies . And from that I developed the worst migraine ever.
Ever since that happened, I have to be so careful what I eat. And yes, the inner shaking affects my sleep too. I was so afraid I was getting Parkinson’s or MS.
Exactly what I thought but they are both visible shaking. This is just so odd but I don’t think it is life threatening…just saying to fuel up with good stuff! I hike a lot also, lots of movement lots of fresh food…my dad lived to 105, quit playing tennis at 100, took zero pills. Ate mediterranean, and he just didn’t stress out, great sense of humour. Good life lessons.

1 ReactionThe stress is the worst!
Sounds like a very good role model.
Yes. These symptoms are a bit of a wake up call
To remember how stress can take a person down and to feed yourself with nutrition.
Hi, I do have GI issues with reflux, I am shaking inside like vibration and chills, muscle pain, headache. I had blood test and they found out that I have high vitamin D the doctor told me stop taking vitamin D and supplement that contains vitamin D. Check your vitamin D,
