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 started peri-meno four years ago with a bang (age 47). I was at work and had my first ever panic attack and ended up the in hospital because I was sure I was having a heart attack. I had four panic attacks over the next two years and developed horrible anxiety. My ears buzzed, my head felt like it was in a vice, my extremities tingled, and I had internal vibrating in the core of my body and also my face. I had hot flashes and night sweats, too. My periods were about every 2-3 months. A year ago, my periods started coming every 40 days and all of my symptoms seemed to go away. Currently, my last period was in April and I have started having all the ugly symptoms again. By far the worst is the internal vibrating, seems more severe this time. I'm hoping that these will soon be a distant memory!

Still do not know what to do. It is annoying, makes me more anxious.

Do you think it is related to (peri)menopause?

I believe it is part of the peri, but there are also other things. My feelings started one month ago with seasonal depresion. I do not feel well during fall every year, someting only for a couple of days, sometimes for one or two months, when it is dark and cold. I do my hobbies, sports, but the fall depression is something biological, and neither any good dinner nor movie help. And at the same time my sleeping problems appeared this year. I think I am in the last phase of the peri, have many physical and psychological symptoms, and I try to cope with them, and sometimes, it is really hard.
About the weird feeling - as if my body and mind do not cooperate when I want to sleep.

Dear Lena, I think we're in the same boat. I feel like I'm in peri due to all kind of bodily changes and haven't be able to function normally since 3 years and I also have issues with the current season. I use a daylight lamp to support a normal circadian rhythm, but it helps just a little for that, it improves my mood though..
Of all complaints I find the buzzing, the brain zaps and the short circuits when I'm trying to sleep the hardest. I'm totally exhausted at bedtime and just want to rest and have lots of peaceful sleep after a day of feeling miserable, and even that doesn't function properly. It's like you say: your body wants to turn off but your brain is not able to relax. Or the other way around, it's a mess really.
I hope that the coming years will bring us some relief, life isn't that much fun like this is it?

Life is not easy in peri, that is true.
I believe that season depression plays a part too, it is dark an cold, I am sleepy all the day and when I want to sleep at night, my body simply does not want to.
Vibrations, zaps , etc.are the results, very frustrating, set my health anxiety high, and make thinks worse. Plus night sweats, general weakness. I try to keep myself busy all the day, problems seem to be worse when I pamper myself.

Hi Everyone!
I don't sure that this is going to help for sure since I think I don't have PD but I hope it will
I've been struggling with the whole body internal shaking for almost a year and I've been going to doctors and they didn't know what it is. Everytime I was trying to concentrate and think or even watch a movie the internal shaking became worse. I was thinking that I might have some kind of neurological disease.
Then I've found that I have some of the Cushing's high cortisol symptoms:
A little weight gain
Slow healing of cuts, insect bites and infections
Loss of emotional control
Weakened immune system
Decreased libido
And some of the people who has Cushing's syndrome has internal tremors.
I used to do push ups, pull ups, squats but the last year I mostly had aerobic type of training which sometimes made the tremor worse.
Occasionally I did push ups, pull ups, squats and once I noticed that after a day or two after training I had less tremors.
I was thinking to try to do push ups, pull ups, squats for a few days in a row.
I added more carbs to my diet - white rise 3 times a day and some proteins and did the exorcise for 4 days in a row, on the first three days the tremor became worse, but on the fourth day, I started to feel a lot better.
This is the training schedule I'm currently using:
Monday - push ups 3x20
Wednesday - pull ups 3x10
Friday - squats 3x15
I also eat enough carbs and proteins.
My theory is that you need to increase your testosterone which balance cortisol
I doubted that a simple training with carbs might help but magically it did.
I hope that would help everyone as it did for me, if so please share with anyone who has the same problem
I created the page with the whole story and my training schedule, I hope that it may help someone: http://internaltremorcure.pw

Hi , I have been on this post for awhile. I have 24-7 internal body vibrating. I get maybe 2 hours of sleep a night. Always wake up to vibrating and was wondering if you know of any suppliment that helps control Cortizol ? I'm thinking my levels might be too high. I take 1 grain nature thyroid and my levels are always good. when I get my blood work back.
dying here....

I don't have any Cushing's high cortisol symptoms.
Also, want to make sure pple don't confuse internal tremors with spontaneous MDDS symptoms: rocking, bobbing, swaying and many others. I do have MDDS symptoms.
?[/b]But I also started experiencing true internal tremors, not legs or arms, but as if all internal ORGANS including brain vibrate when I lie down. It slows down eventually, but when it is at 9-10, my hand reaches for a trigger, so to speak (I don't have guns).[/b]
I take Ativan 1/4 0.5 mg for MDDS symptoms, twice a day, upon awakening and 2-3 hr before bed time. If I don't take it before bed time, my internal vibration is 10 and unbearable. I can increase dosage, but I am afraid it would make things worse in the long run.
My MDDS symptoms started 2-3 years before last period at 51, it was on and off but progressively increased and become everyday occurrence after I turned 54.
I am 56 now and having internal vibrations for several months now, along with brain fog and balance issues. I also have POTS and at times BP 50-70s.
I never had typical menopause symptoms. What I had and still have: POTS symptoms, severe, MDDS symptoms severe and now internal organs shaking.
I gave up on mainstream doctors. Have tired everything there is to try with zero results. Have not tried BHRT.
Also, some people getting off benzos and antidepressants can have many symptoms including internal shaking for YEARS.
P.S. Mal de debarquement syndrome (MdDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

please get checked for aleep apnea ask your doctor to refer you to a sleep study. In my extensive research this was the number one cause. If you have apnea then do the cpap or bipap treatment. The vibrations are mild compare to the heart damage you can do. Good luck to you all.
