hello I've got the same exact problem. I cant fall asleep because my body shakes internally. In my chest, throat and even nose.Now I am anxious over it and shake very midly outside as well. I take my girls kolonopin at night and it puts me to sleep.Any other symptoms? I have a slight balance problem too and constipation. A. IMO I really think I have early parkinsons.

Hi,
The cause of your symptoms could be Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It occurs due to recurrent complete or partial closure of the airway during sleep. When any of these breathing disturbances occurs during sleep, a brief arousal may result in order to establish normal breathing again. During the arousal, the patients may jerk or shake their body or limbs, depending on the severity of the sleep apnea. A number of unusual movement disorders may be associated with sleep like Alternating Leg Muscle Activation, Excessive Fragmentary Myoclonus to name a few.  Please consult a physician and neurologist for management of the symptoms. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
