vibrations throughout body

[3cush]

I've had these vibrations on and off for years. I used to think they were from some external source and thought I was detecting rumbling like that of a far off train.  Only recently have I realised the vibrations are in me.  When I thought they were external they didn't worry me at all.  Now I know they are not they frighten me.    Could they be atrial fibrillation?


This discussion is related to vibrations throughout body.

I too have exactly the same problem... mine occur more when Im sitting still on my office chair...and I always ask ppl in my office if theres renovation inside the building area.. feels like theres a giant hammer hitting the building and it makes my whole body jolting.

I can't not describe it any better.

Thank you for your reply.  I'm not aware of the vibrations during the day and I can't honestly say they disturb me at night I do feel them.  They are not even unpleasant feelings. Rather like excitement.   Difficult to describe.  I would say they are mainly in my torso and arms, perhaps mainly across the breastbone, close to the surface, not deep.  Just  the sort of feeling you would have if a distant underground train went by  and you felt the vibration.  As far as I am aware I am perfectly healthy although I have had a frozen shoulder for 6 months which is now getting better which has affected other muscular areas.

I have been suffering from what I have been calling a "vibration" for about 6 months. I was blaming it on my neighbors pool pump but nobody else in the house feels it at night. Their pump does send vibrations throughout our downstairs tile floor and we feel it on our stools and granite countertops. Our bedroom is upstairs from this room. My husband does not feel any vibrations up there at night and he insists their pool pump is not on at night. However, I feel a vibration throughout my body most of the night and cannot sleep as a result.  After reading some other discussions I'm beginning to think maybe it is "just me." I definitely feel it and it began around the same time I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis, what some believe to be an autoimmune disease. My alternative health care provider has me on 50,000 i.u.'s of Vitamin A, 1500 mg of N-Acetyl Glucosamine, Cal Mag, and Spirulina (which contains Vit. b-12 among other minerals, etc.). He thinks my vibrations are the result of hyperthyroidism, which I have always tested negative for when a TSH test has been done. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'd try sleeping somewhere else for a week and see if you still feel the vib's :)

Hello.

Can you mention where you feel the vibrations? And do you feel them all the time? Atrial fibrillation usually does not lead to such experiences.

Have you got a cardiologist's opinion? You should explore the possibility of neuropathy.
