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 think I would even go as far as to say it is potassium, the electrolytes are replenishing minerals, but I think the major one we should focus on is potassium. If anyone gets blood work done, see if your potassium is low. Mine has been and we wrote it off from my recent dehydration. In fact I was even given potassium in the hospital and was never told why. Odds are I have had low potassium all along and a symptom of it is a nerve or muscle spasm. Pretty scary though thinking your heart is indeed a muscle that relies on potassium.

      Michelle68080, 

      sodium, caffeine, alcohol, can cause ringing in the ears, especially if you have high blood pressure or Meniere's. Tingling in the extremities can be a number of things from glucose, to fibromyalgia, to even nerve damage in the neck or spine. You could have more than one thing going on, definitely keep pursuing answers until to can get some relief. In the meanwhile I would try backing off sodium (colas, even chocolate) and see if the ringing in your ears gets better, at least then you would have a starting point. Good luck, I know it can be frustrating.

      Never sodium.I don't eat chocolate , never soda No alcohol.  I have dropped my coffee to only one cup. Always have had a very low blood pressure.  my glucose is perfect and was tested for FM.

      Have had the ringing since 4/2016.  But thanks for the respond.  Had Rotator cuff surgery on 9/2015.  Maybe something got pinched.

      I've had blood drawn twice and never had low pot. I have been on a low carb no sugar diet for 2 weeks now and I'm still vibrating. I do have tenninitis as well but has had that for a long time. I do have high blood pressure that is under control. My neurologist wonders has wondered if because I only have these at night if I were to take blood levels at night would anything show up high? Those who only notice it at night, do you think it's because were more calm at night and we feel it easier?

      I can wake up mid of night and it's started with a vengeance! Almost like I've been given a dose of adrenalin. In fact when I do get it -it's from when I get up. So who knows! I guess it's nothing dangerous especially if you have checked it out with your GP but we can each only try to find something that might help. I can only say that since doing a little big of cardio each night - skipping rope for 10 mins ! And adjusting my diet a little- it hasn't happened since but who knows. Good luck and will report back in a couple of weeks to say if it's happened again

      If you dont already, try adding a daily banana and things like avocado, coconut juice and leafy green veg all good- coconut has a bit of sodium so not too much but at worst they do nothing snd at best it might help?

      Up again last night at 1 am for at least an hour...journaling and chose craved a banana and half an avocado. I usually don't like to eat in the middle of the night but it seemed like I needed it. I did go back to bed vs. the Biomat but I was SO cold for awhile. I think your on the right path that it might be strongly connected to electrolytes, minerals, etc. I have been wearing amber lensed glasses (can get them on Amazon for pretty cheap) and I can work on the computer without a problem.

      Yes, I TOTALLY believe that it's worse at night because we slow way down and notice it all more. Our body doesn't want to rest. I'd bet that cortisol patterns are WAY off too. UGH! So many things to balance! I am going to start a gratitude journal as well as find time during the day to decompress whatever is going on that is slightly stressful.

      I only noticed mine at night and when I was laying on my back. It could be that I noticed it because I wasn't doing other things, but I have only noticed it when laying down.

      it's just  so frustrating. I really have no idea who to go to next for this. Do you have any suggestions for a cortizol suppliment. I'm thinking maybe my levels are too high or low. Not sure. Gonna have to research.
