Has anyone felt internal vibration?

Posted by ginajoy @ginajoy, Feb 23, 2023

I have ventricular tachycardia. I had an ablation in 2015 and am a cardiac arrest survivor. In 2017 I begin experiencing internal vibration that comes and goes and generally is in my left leg area. My doctor did an MRI as well as nerve conduction tests which came back normal. I recently read this vibration can be caused by heart arrhythmia and show up in areas away from the heart…. Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do to reduce vibrations?

Yes, that's what I meant. I have a chronic form of leukemia ... and my hematologist used to say that while bell-shaped curve statistics may be helpful to the medical community, they won't predict where any one individual is on the curve! So for example, according to various bell-shaped curves regarding my form of leukemia, a 20-year remission following a trial drug was at that point in time nearly an impossibility, yet here I is, living long enough to have to worry about A-Fib!

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.

I am also in persistent AFIB. I feel vibrations in lower left abdomen. As of yet not been able to find rhyme or reason for why they start or stop. No associated pain but a very strange feeling.

I feel a vibration too! In my chest mainly. It is no big deal, it doesn't bother me but it is an odd feeling. I often wake up with this subtle hummmm going on.
Still have no diagnosis, I'm off for another test this week. But the Beta Blockers have been working a treat and I've had no major episodes over the last four weeks, so my stress levels around it are much improved.
