Internal vibrations still affecting anyone?

Posted by scrappy @scrappy, May 29, 2025

It’s 5:17 a.m. and I’ve been awake for some time because of the crazy internal vibrations still affecting me over two years after my first and worst Covid case. They absolutely terrify me when they start in the middle of the night when I’m asleep. I can never go back to sleep because I always fear they could be “something else.” They’re in my abdomen, chest, legs, etc., and I always think my heart must be racing, but when I take my pulse it’s not. Please, if you have any recommendations, share them. I am still having severe shortness of breath, but only when standing! My vision is blurred but the ophthalmologist can’t find anything wrong. I’ve been tested and tested by the pulmonologist and have even been to UNC’s long covid clinic for testing. They believe my issues, like for other patients, is a neurological problem caused by COVID. Are the vibrations just more of the same? I feel like I have a buzzer going off in my body right now and it’s nights like tonight that I think I’m going crazy. I’m so sick of this! I know that others have more serious problems than mine but this is really affecting my mental health and I’m hoping someone has had success in stopping their own vibrations and can offer suggestions.

Not sure if what I’m dealing with right now is from Covid but I’ve had internal vibrations for about 6-8 months. I’ve researched it a little and some say adrenal/cortisol. Because I’m 5 years post menopausal, all my symptoms are blamed on that. I haven’t heard internal vibrations as a symptom of menopause.

I never had them until I got very ill with Covid several years ago. I have other weird symptoms that have been diagnosed as “probably neurological long Covid” just like the vibrations. Last week my thyroid level was low and I’m now being sent to an endocrinologist as that can cause some sort of tremors. My PCP now thinks that’s the problem, but my level wasn’t low before so I don’t think so. I’ve never heard about a connection to menopause either. I’m beginning to think when doctors don’t know they just throw anything out there. Because the neurological diagnosis came from UNC where there’s a long Covid clinic I’ve been to for breathing issues, I’m inclined to believe that.
