VIBRATING BUZZING HEAD

Hi All,
Does anyone here ever get a vibrating, shaking buzzing feel in their head.  It started a  couple of days ago, and last nite, it was so bad it actually traveled down the side of my neck down my arm and hand.  I have gotten those internal tremors in my left shoulder arm hand, and left leg.  This is a little bit different, I don't know if it just feels different cause it's in the heard area, but it was more of a vibrating instead of buzzing, or like a mild shaking.  It kept me up, it didn't hurt, but it was uncomfortable, and like I said it went all the way from my entire head, down to my hand.  It's happened a couple of times.  It's unnerving to say the least.  It also seemed to affect my chin and lips.  It also feels almost like the muscles around my skull are spasming or tight.   Anybody?  What is this like my 6th post within 2 weeks!  I'm falling apart!  But, I know I'm not alone!    That's why we're all here right!  At least we have us!  Sandie

Magnesium has helped people with vertigo.

I used to get buzzing and beeping noises in my head, but they have been gone for years since my nutrition improved.

One possibility:

"Magnesium deficiency symptoms involving the peripheral nervous system include numbness, tingling, and other abnormal sensations, such as zips, zaps and vibratory sensations."

Wow, I thought I was the only one to get this! I was a Commercial Pilot until I got vertigo 3 years ago, it's mostly gone now but if I hear a loud bang or sharp noise it vibrates through my whole body but I don't know why. All heart tests are good and blood pressure is 120/80, and I'm 60 years old. I try not to panic, as no one has a clue what it is.

I have had many experience with that vibration in the head. It is a very intense and confusing moment. It's almost as though you can hear it while it's happening. I have not had it diagnosed as of yet.

I have read all your comments with interest.  I have recently had vibrating sensation in my head then my hands go weak and after a few seconds it passes and i am left with a sore head.  It is very frightening and i do not know what it is.  I remember suffering the same symptoms about ten yeas ago.  Anybody got any fresh ideas as to what this could be

Weird...I get the vibrations at least 5 times a day in my whole body except my head. I was trying to explain it to my husband and the only way I could explain it was it feeling like one of those joke buzzers (you know, the handshake ones) going off on my entire body.

Thanks for all of your imput everyone!  Yeah, I have been having these sx the buzzing under the foot is all the time,  The muscle spasms, the jumping muscles, etc etc, yadda yadda yadda,.  THEN, comes the vibrating head!  You know seriously. I feel like an energy source right now.   I feel like you can just plug me in, and I'm off.  But it's wierd, it's mostly, except for the vibrating head, it mostly seems to be on my left side.  Except the ON, that was both sides, I know there is another word, but my buzzing head must have threw it out.  Seriously, seriously, what is next.

Can someone tell me what sx to expect next.  What do you guys think my neuro is gonna say about all these sx?  The vertigo eases up but never goes completely away, and then comes back with a vengeance.  Can we talk!    Thanks everyone lots for your reponses, and patience with all of my posts.  I know it's been one thing after another, but I couldn't let the vibrating head thing go, I was up most of the night because of it.    Sandie
