The Amazing Vibrating Human
I'm slowly beginning to come to the conclusion that I may need some sort of outside help with stress and/or anxiety.
If you look through my profile you'll see I've got a long history of PVC's (which is almost always a benign heart condition), often brought about by stress/anxiety. I've also had all kinds of other symptoms on and off over the last 2 decades, almost too many to list. Most recently, it was a case of IBS, as best as the medical community can figure (after an ultrasound, EGD, CT scan and copious blood work).
I've had slightly more severe heart issues lately, which are being checked into as I type this, but most likely the tests will reveal this also to be benign.
But since I've begun this most recent heart monitoring (wearing an event monitor), I don't know if my stress levels are that much higher or what, but there are times I swear I feel like my entire body is vibrating. It also often feels as though a clamp has been placed over every nerve that travels through the back of my neck and into my brain and is getting squeezed. In the last couple days I've been kind of jittery, too. Not so much that others would notice, but I can tell. I feel like a coffee fiend looks before they get their morning Joe. Or maybe right after.
I'm wearing this heart monitor 24/7, so I can say that my heart rate has been pretty much normal. Maybe slightly elevated and at times it reacts a bit more quickly and dramatically than it otherwise would, but when I feel like I'm "vibrating" or jittery, the heart monitor is telling me my heart isn't the cause.
Has anyone felt this sense of vibrating before? When I feel it, I usually feel it all over - hands, arms, head, neck, torso, legs, feet.
Makes me think I am truly losing my mind.

Hi, I suffer from Generalised Anxiety and the feeling of a jitter or vibration sounds very familiar, but to look at yourself when you jitter its unlikely you can visually see it, but the more you think about it the worse it feels am I right? You’re not alone, it sounds very much like anxiety to me. Try and ask your Dr for some CBT to change your thinking pattern. Good luck
