    The shakiness is horrific. Yes it can be triggered by stress and feels really scary. It makes you feel very anxious once it starts. It is all part of the journey, my research suggests it is worse if you have any unresolved trauma it can make this particular symptom worse. Its important to get support as it is such a debilitating symptom. Take care and practice self care.

    my mom is in postmenopausal period... we used to visit emergency after a each month we face these symptoms.

    in mumma's case this usually starts with feeling cold thn we nausea before leaving home with these symptoms each tym we do bp monitoring. everytime we find that bp shooks up gently to levels like 170/90 from 100/60 .

    then we need to visit hospital in emergency...

    but fortunately all heart test angiography echo are normal. even angio of kidneys are also normal.

    but still each month we face such horrible symptons.

    now a days along with these chest pain with left arm numbness are added too.

    i m too upset nd worried about my mumma if somehow these symptoms get settled down kindly mention your fruitful suggestions regarding the same.

    thanks
