Hi I am a 35 year old female that has "chest tremors" every time I wake for 3 months.  I had a holter which showed supraventricular ectopy (PAC couplets) in Dec.  Since the symptoms continued after starting beta blocker (100 tenormin) I had a event monitor which showed nothing but normal sinus rythym.  I was very symptomatic during the monitor and was suprised to find out it was not PSVT.  Could this problem be something neurologic?  My husband can even feel it.  It only and always happens upon waking.  ie I can lay down awake for 2 hours and it doesn't happen but if I fall asleep for 10 minutes, I wake up and it is happening.  This lasts until I sit up.  The only other odd thing is when I take a shower first thing in the a.m. and am closing my eyes I get a "strobe-light" sensation.  Like my eyelids are twiching.  No flashing lights though just normal light like you were closing your eyes and moving your hands in front of your face.  Only neuro probs in family were grandma with cerabelllum degen. ataxia late in life.  Thanks do I need a neuro consult?




PS. I have been obsessing over my health and am on Luvox for OCD.  Are there any Dx that sound similar to my problems that I should have ruled out?
