Jerk in Sleep
Hey, when I had my MS Health Anxiety scare I pretty much had hypnic jerks and would just burst out of sleep and then they just went away after realizing I was wrong. Now with my Health Anxierty about ALS I am obsessed with my mouth and tongue, despite being told I'm fine. So at night I'll go to bed fine but when I wake up in the middle of the night I get extreme anxiety and I'll literally shake..legs everywhere. Where it bothers me the most though is my jaw. If my teeth are together they chatter and I was so obsessed with maybe my tongue moving I'd jam it against the roof or back of teeth...of course being a muscle it does shake some...anyways, anyone else get the shakes in a concentrated area?
it really sounds like you are having surges of adrenaline due to the anxiety. The adrenaline will cause you to shake and teeth to chatter, kind of like when you are really cold.
