Inside tremor, earthquake feeling, twitches, pulsating

I feel that my heartbeat is all over my body....and is beating so strong that when I sit still my body rocks to my heartbeat.

I also have internal tremors and I feel like my heartbeat and the tremors or vibrations are linked to the heartbeat. When my heartbeats I feel an earthquake feeling too when I'm standing still.

I feel like as if someone is shaking my chair or someone is shaking my bed while sleeping. I also have random twitches and muscle spams.

I notice this sensation more when I pause or rest. so this means that the tremor/vibration/beats are occurring 24/7.

I was looking all over the Internet for symptoms of food poisoning and came across this feed. So I just want anyone who reads this to know that I am not saying this is what the problem is but merely stating my particular situation.
I started having the tremors years ago, by the way I am a 58/f, So when it started happening I decided to go the process of illumination way. I started one thing at a time and went for months and months doing this. What I found was that I had always washed dishes, cleaned my floors, my bathrooms and other normal cleaning without gloves. I also used chemicals when cleaning and never used gloves. So I started using gloves to clean with and in that process I started dropping one chemical cleaner at a time. Over time my tremors, feeling of bugs crawling on me, twitches, spasms subsided and then finally went away. It has been about 2 years now.
So here we are today. This past Saturday night I went out to eat and around 2am in the morning I started throwing up really bad. This is about 6 hours later it's starts after I have eaten. Never have I felt so sick and have sure never thrown up like this. The throwing up went on for about 16 hours. After a few hours it was nothing but dry heaving. Then came the severe diarrhea, fever, sweats,  then cold, then severe need for water, eyes running, burning in the back of my throat. This went on for about 36 hours. I am setting in my living room right now feeling much better but am having the internal tremors again, the feeling of bugs crawling on me, the twitches and spasms. I realize now I have been poisoned. Whether indirectly or directly I am not sure yet. But all of you women need to think about what you subject yourself to daily when it comes to everyday cleaning. Because food poison can be caused by several different things. Not just bacteria, staph, E. coli etc., it can also be chemical poisoning. Which has made me write this comment. My symptoms went away after using the gloves while cleaning after several months and never returned. Now that I have the same symptoms tonight after, I believe from poisoning, then I am convinced it is chemical. Which is why your test are all coming back normal. They can't find the chemical because it's already out of your system, but the chemical can cause damage to nerves and other parts of your body. So not sure if this makes any sense or will help anyone but after the last few nights of pure hell and now this tremor crap again I am totally convinced it is caused by chemicals. Hope this helps someone or everyone. Because there is nothing worse than going to the doctor, having them run expensive test just to have the test results come back normal. With today's medical Insurance co-pays it's ridicules. I have great insurance but for allot of people they don't. So try this and see if that helps you before you spend thousands of dollars just to have results come back negative and having the snot scared out of you. I will also add that some chemical poisoning you never get over and suffer for the rest of your life with. Hope this helps someone out there.

Has anyone experienced the sensation in  a way that you can feel your arms like vibrate/tremble? I swear it seems to move up and down my body and sometimes I can feel it in my head when I lay down at night. I have this feeling almost like my heart is beating in my stomach it'll just move like a rapid twitch but feels like my heartbeat.  I also get a prickly/tingling feeling in my hands and legs and I almost feel like my hand is weak or something. These syprs have happening  for a week followed by 2 weeks of waking up lightheaded, having eye problem, sleeping for long periods and still feeling tired and having that last all day. Lightheadedness has gone but now this is scaring me. I'm really terrified could anyone say if they experienced the same thing??? I've been tested for a thyroid problem, anemia, viruses, and a couple of other things everything came back normal. I'm just wondering if anyone thinks it may be a sign of MS my mom and her aunt both have it. Please someone help! I'm terrified I may have something terminable or even ALS

Yup. It's because of tyroid problem. It's a silent killer. Do (pranayam)breathing techniques yoga to cure it.

I started feeling this quite recently ... i do live in an earthquake zone therefore is a little confusing.... i'm 36 and started physical fitness at home a couple months ago and it started after that.
I don't feel it with the intensity as most of the people here ... i just feel constant tremors like in the start of an earthquake but never feel the jolt of the earthquake. I am feeling them now as i lay on my bed and the bed is where it always happens when i'm trying to fall asleep or watching a movie. i do not have any issues with lack of sleep or stress (maybe mild stress is present but nothing to be worried about).  
I take no medication at all (painkillers for migranes once in a while and some multivitamin). My most recent blood pressure was 122/75. i tested for sugar (diabetes) and thats normal too... Nothing else feels wrong and i can function normally as i have done all my life.
I test a lot of herbal home remedies on myself rather than going to a doctor so if i do come across anything i will share with you all.

Has any of you used any corticosteroids for treatment?
I have a skin disorder called lichen and I used a medication called dermovate, to rub on the areas affected. It contains corticosteroids and to me it seems, that this might have affected my adrenal gland somehow, because I got the same feeling you are describing here and also dizziness. The episodes lasted about 3-4 weeks, then got better.
Now I have a tingling sensation in my hands and feet an my left leg is throbbing like a fluid flowing through my calf or something similar. Feels like elevated pulse, but while checking the pulse from my wrist, the pulse is normal. I also get occasional extra cystols, meaning that couple of times a day it feels like my heart does an extra beat or skips one. According to my doctor, everything is fine, got a MRT, also everything good.

Sooooo many comments since I last checked this thread.  

My earthquakes have improved so now I directly relate it to the low blood volume, low blood pressure, and chronic dehydration from whatever is causing my adrenals to not make enough aldosterone.

However, since the last two years my aunts has been diagnosed with full blown Parkinson's and my mom will be evaluated soon for dementia or other neurological issues. My latest brain scan shows an enlarged perivascular space in right basal ganglia and asymmetrical lateral ventricles, which I had to ask nicely twice to be included on my report because its supposedly a super small likelihood its significant. But, it just might end up being important down the road. Who knows. Anyway, back to a neurologist for me too. My autonomic testing didn't show orthostatic hypotension so cardiologist says its not heart. Endocrinologist doesn't think Cushing's or Addison's but I have fluctuating symptoms and labs. Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma tumors will be checked for good measure because sis had adrenal tumor and neurofibromatosis is linked to my mothers side, but probably not any of that either.

Hello Pollydog -- did you ever find out if it's hormone related?  I have been going through these anxiety-symptoms for 18 months now, and it's not fun.  Next month I will be 43!
