Having internal body vibrations/buzzing.
Posted , 170 users are following.
I've been experiencing these body vibrations/buzzing for about 2 months now. It started out mostly at night waking me up between 1am to 4am..if I try to sleep through it it gets worse and even into my head. I've had several really bad mornings where its been so bad I get out of bed in a panic wondering what is wrong...of course this has lead to very little sleep the last couple months. Lately it goes on all day too. At night I can "calm" it with a glass of wine but only to wake up vibrating again. I've been taking anxiety meds and they have no effect. Tried muscle relaxers and they have no effect. I've changed my diet and taking vitamins with no effect. I'm 50 years old and pre pausel as I've had on full period I'm 7 months. Im so tired of dealing with this. Anyone else having this same thing? If so what have they done about it?.I have a doctors app. in two days.

I honesty think it's just part of menopause. I have been living with this symptom since '09. Some days are worse than others. Sometimes the shaking is visible, not just inside. I will feel so nervous and jumpy. I haven't found anything that helps. I have basically had to learn to deal with it. Everyone tells me this too shall pass. Take care

Do you have any back, next or head injury?
Lymes Disease had an articlebthat talkedbabout one of the symptoms being vibrations. This is the first thing that ever listed this as a symptom. See if you can get checked for Lymes Disease. Best of luck.

i seriously do not believe it's a menopause issue. i went through early menopause 14 almost 15 years ago and recently have this vibrational sensation in my feet.. like a buzzing sensation.. so i cant accept that it is related to menopause. sorry.. that doesnt seem to be applicable over a decade past menopause.

Hiya
I feel for you I've been having this weird symptom on and off I'm in year nine of perimenopause
I've not had a period for 10 months and it's getting worse almost constant
I sometimes think it's my heart beat but when I take my pulse and blood pressure it's fine
This bout has lasted a week and has sent my anxiety into overdrive another of my peri symptoms
I feel so on edge constantly with it
I'm not in any meds and every test I've ever had comes back normal thyroid included even though I have a nodule on my thyroid its functioning normal according to tests
I'm so drained with all these years of it
I've had every symptom then some
I keep reminding myself I've had it before and it's passed but the constant internal vibration is just awful
Hope u feel better soon x

Hi Susan. I'm 6 years post menopausal and vibrations and muscle twitching for about a year now. I'm curious if you've experienced other symptoms not typically associated with menopause? I also get joint and muscle pain, sometimes debilitating. I don't quite meet the criteria for fibromyalgia and my Naturopathic doctor is at a loss for answers. Why did it take 7 MRI's? I've been wondering if I should pursue that possibility. I agree, it's very frustrating Good luck with biopsy.

Whatever happened? I’m experiencing the vibration too as I’m going through perimenopause/menopause. I’m told that it’s anxiety but it’s getting worse and it’s affecting my sleep and my digestion is totally out of balance. I’m struggling to eat well and do all the right things but I’m losing weight. Feel like I’m deteriorating.😞

I do all of that and then some. I know the spine is causing some of this and surgeries. I also realize that I am 6 months in to menopause and it’s causing these issues. Seems everyone has issues with the nervous system, key is figuring out what is triggering it and stop the brain cycle. However, I may have permanent damage to spine and that probably is compounding the problem. I am taking ligament restore, which is helping my atlas stay on along with going to my atlas chiropractor (different than regular chiropractor) and TMJ is huge issue. Vibrating is worse in the head and finds it’s way down. Thank you Heidi. I do sleep better with the magnesium, but also other herbs and unfortunately I have to take sleeping pills, just not as high of dose with the herbs.
I woke up this morning with my eyeballs so cold, they felt dead. THat’s what woke me up and I had to get blood to it and warm it up. Yucky dead feeling.

Sleep apnea can cause depleted electrolytes.
I’m leaning closer to the cause being Lymes Disease and or sleep apnea.

It was definitely sleep apnea for me, which I suffered about two years or more before dx and tx. I think the vibration came from the prolonged sleep deprivation which caused a form of nervous system damage. I think you can get it from different things, like a spinal injury or TMJ, anything that injures the nervous system, maybe even sustained emotional strees. Whatever causes the damage though, it seems to last a long, long time even if the issue is addressed. I don't have the vibration as long as I sleep with the CPAP machine and get my rest, but just one night without it, and I'm waking up with bad vibrating. I also notice caffeine can cause a low level vibrating during the day, and I think that's because the damage has been done to the nervous system and stimulants like caffeine, probably sugar too, aggravate it. "They" are never going to see this damage on an xray or MRI, but it's real.

Hi.. Neurologist #2 wants to do an EMG on me to test for Dysautonomia.. It's expensive and I haven't done it yet.. and I read where there often isn't a cure anyway or even treatment. So I kind of wonder what's the point.. Been dealing with this since March.. Started with a weird dizziness/sinking feeling while driving.. now has developed into this. I've seen every doctor under the sun.. It's been worse the last couple of days. Not sure what to think.

Primarily just the dizziness and sinking feeling in the internal buzzing. I have at times had a higher blood pressure than is normal for me but the cardiologist attributes that to the stress of all this.I went to him because in the beginning I had what I thought were some heart palpitations and a couple days before all this started I raised up in bed and pulled a chest muscle pretty significantly.. also in the beginning I thought it was related to a flight I had just taken because my ears popped a couple times but other than that I don't have any ear problems and I don't think I have any type of joint problems or anything like that. The neurologist did MRIs of my head and my spine and didn't see anything.

Well.. the buzzing/vibrating is mainly in the top half of my body... I'm 54 and I have no idea if it's hormonal or not. I guess I need to go to the OB/GYN also and ask his opinion.. I'm pretty sure I'm done with menopause. It happened really early. I had a hysterectomy at 43 and do not take any supplements.
The internal buzzing feels like just that.. buzzing or vibration.. inside.. In the beginning I thought it was a sound.. but I'm sure now it's a feeling.
The sinking feeling is my head and body.. I can be driving along and literally feel like I'm sinking back into the seat of the car.. or sinking over to the side.. I don't know if it's a dizzy feeling, lightheaded.. or what.

Have you heard of Fluoroquinolones antibiotics. I’m looking into it. And it may be part of my problem. Still trying to figure out.

The EMG and ANT tests were normal.. Very thankful for that but still no answers on any of this.. and now I have developed these pelvic pains periodically. They were pretty consistent throughout the night last night and it feels like shooting pains..

I just turned 49 and this started about two months ago. Started as muscle twitching intermittently all over. Then I started getting these vibrations when I wake up. I can no longer tolerate any caffeine and I used to drink four cups of coffee per day. Even just a tad of caffeine will make me feel trembly and shaky inside. I often feel like I'm having internal tremors and sometimes it even shows up as shaking slightly in my fingers on both hands but doesn't last long. I had bloodwork done for Magnesium, B12 and Vitamin D. All was normal. I also just had nine vials of blood drawn for all hormones including Thyroid. Haven't got the results in that yet.
I have to say it is really freaking me out. I hope that it is peri menopause and nothing sinister. I also have an MRI scheduled of the neck and brain to rule out MS.

did you ever figure this out? I'm in the exact same boat except i have had the MRIs and MRAs. Looks like i have sleep apnea, so holding out hope for some relief with that for now

i just came across this feed... i have the exact same symptoms you have listed. All of them including the sudden pelvic pain that comes and goes. Did you ever get any answers? i have seen cardiologist, neurologist, had MRI done, extensive hormone testing done. i have days i can hardly get out of bed because the internal tremors just make me so dizzy feeling and tired! So far doctor has just put me on anxiety meds but i feel that is just fixing a symptom of my symptoms. I am just curious if you found anything out.

Susan17350 OMG!!!! Wow!
I can't believe what happened to you. I'm speechless.
You poor thing! (7 MRI's - before they would take you seriously?!) 😦 I would be angry too.
So is that considered MS?
How are you doing now?

Hi Lisa 😃
I know what you mean.
Do you think your anxiety meds are helping any?

Its hard to tell. She has put me on anxiety meds and progesterone daily. After only taking for about a week, I still was having issues, so I demanded another dose of steroid pack which had worked for me before. That is what seems to finally make the symptoms go away for me. So right now, I am not certain what is working, the anxiety meds, the daily dose of progesterone or the steroid pack I finished. So we will see if the symptoms come back like they did before about 8 weeks after I finished steroid pack back in October. My issue is I had an MRI, that the radiologist report stated he believed the scan was highly suggestive of MS or other demyelinating issue based off of my scan, when I went to neurologist, he completely dismissed the report all together, stating he doesnt respect that radiologist. So I dont know which doctor is correct. Then he just sent me back to my primary doctor, who then did hormone testing, and showed I was in early menopause and that must be what is causing my symptoms. I still do not agree!

Hi, I have had buzzing in my legs for a few years and recently it has moved to almost everywhere, I also have a lesion on my spine. Have your doctors found any cause?

This is my first time replying so this may be a duplicate. Sorry if it is. Your symptoms are exactly like mine. Did you ever find out what might be causing it or what might help it? I do have or I should say have had a B 12 deficiency and a vitamin D deficiency. However I think both levels are OK right now. I can’t get over how close your symptoms are to mine. I hope that you’re feeling better.
