Look through the posts here. I believe someone mentions something similar when falling asleep and Neuro said it was benign.
I took a quick look, but couldn't spot it. I believe it was in the last 30 days.
This is very strange and I have found limited information on this. As I am falling asleep at night, I suddenly get what feels like a vibrating sensation througout my body. It seems as if it gets worse with stress. I then sit up and try to relax and it goes away only to happen again as I am drifting off. This is very annoying and a little bit scary. I really can't find much on this problem and was wondering if anyone knows what this may be? Thanks ScottB
Dear Becky,
Sorry to hear about your symptoms. Radiating pain is usually a sign of nerve problems. A normal MRI of the brain is good, but your problems sound like they are cervical spine related (by symptom location). I might suggest a MRI of the cervical spine. If your short of breath with feelings of heart beat changes then you might need a holter monitor of your heart to make sure that you do not have a rhythm disturbance. One symptoms I do not understand is the pain that moves upward into the shoulder. Neuropathic pain or nerve root pain travels down the nerve into the extremity not upward. So, I cannot explain why this is happening to you. Headaches can be from a variety of sources such as migraine, cluster, tension, menses-related, cervical cord related, etc. Usually these are easily diagnosed so I am not sure what to make out of them. They could be anything from a transformed migraine to just daily headache from tension.
I am sorry that I could not be more specific. I do not know your history in more detail nor was an exam performed. Sorry, I wish I could have helped more.
Sincerely,
CCF Neuro MD
