Shaking/Tremors in my head for many years

[alee520]

Hi to all, I am a 30 year old male and I have been having this problem for many years now. I have some sort of shaking/vibration in my head and I am not sure where exactly it comes from. It severely affects my concentration and I have been unable to hold down a job. Sometimes it results in a crippling headache, other times I feel nauseous. I have tried to do some face exercises like clenching my jaw tightly and shaking my head but it wouldn't relieve the shaking.

Due to the shaking/vibration i my head, I find it very hard to focus and do even some simple tasks. I ever had a CT scan done many years ago but it showed nothing. Basically I just feel like I will just have to live with this all my life. The problem becomes more servere when I am subject to stress. I am really at a lost as to how I can find a way to allievate this incessant shaking in my head. I can't concentrate on doing something for any long period of time. I also have a history of depression/OCD but I don't think it is the cause of this shaking. I almost feel like there is something shaking/shivering in my head and I am sure its not psychological. Many people tell me it is but after suffering for 10 years, I am sure its not. I am a very light smoker and these few days when I try to stop smoking completely, the shaking comes back.

I sometimes feel so alone, and I know not many people understand what I am going through because I look normal on the outside. I also have problems doing some simple tasks at times like having enough focus to hold up a bowl of hot soup and place it properly on the table... It feels like there is this cloud over my brain that disturbs my focus...

The shaking/tremors stops when I sleep, lie down, or rest my head on something... I am not sure why this is so and I hope it may present a clue on my condition.... When my head rests against something, I seem fine and my brain seems to work....

Please share any ideas or suggestions that you may have. Take care.

I am so sorry u r going thru this. I found u while looking up sever headaches when waking up. I have asked my doctor about how early can one find parkinson deaseas. But because it was my first time I brought it up and wasn't in to see her for it she says why all of a sudden am I concerned about this. It's not all of a sudden. I have noticed that I shake sometimes. And ppl have been pointing it out to me the last few years. I really didn't think much of it at first till other ppl I don't even know pointing it out. I am kind of scared to go back to the doctor and bring it up again cuz it seems I'm always there for something. But turly my friend make an appointment again and tell then u r concerned. I wil do the same. I just hate going in and them finding nothing then I look like a hypochondriac. But I guess that's what comes with getting older. I am 48years old and I have been feeling this for several years now. Now I have sever headaches like someone taking a hammer to my head. Keep me posted if u like. My email is ***@****.

My neck shaking has come on over the last 3 years but only during a stressful situations. A month ago I was drinking coffee all day and had a stressful interview which created my first ever panic attack. I literally had to stand up and walk around in the middle of an interview ... It was embarrassing. I started zoloft and xanax and cognitive behavioral therapy. It seems to be suppressing it so far but i know i am not healed.
About 10 yrs ago i was diagnosed with a bulged disc in my c4-c5 near my neck. When stress occurs, this is the point my shaking seems to originate.
So I am tending to agree with an earlier post that my shaking is probably due to a pinched nerve. The stress signals are not reaching my brain and causes confusion and lack os focus.

I am 15 and everything you say is what I'm feeling. My sister noticed it a couple years ago and I'm scared it's something really bad. Every once in awhile I get really bad migraines and I start to feel sick and sometimes I throw up. It gets really bad when I'm nervous or scared but even when I'm not it still happens. My head also will twitch every now and then. But most the time I don't feel it but my parents point it out to me and I really want to know what it is. I'm always trying to move my head so people don't notice and won't think I'm crazy. I really need help.

Hello,
I know this is an old post but I have been having this problem too for a few months now and after many a few MRI's, CAT Scans, and other tests my neurologist came to the conclusions that it's just my muscles tensing up which are pressing down on ear and eye nerves.

He suggested I take 500mg of Magnesium which has helped very much! I don't feel much of the shaking as often anymore. I am not completely healed but it has helped extremely because there were times I would feel extremely off balance. Hope this helps. I will soon be trying biomagnetic therapy. I will keep you posted as to how that works!

im also suffering from that but not as severe. before i had the shaking from neck / head, i had vertigo. vertigo means theres some "rocks" in one of my inner that has been moved from one side to another.. also the symptoms of vertigo is nauseas, dizzyness, etc.. i couldnt focus at work at all.. i felt a spinning sensation.. so i went to my doctors and they said i have to do this maneuver called epley maneuver where it moves the rocks back to where it came from. so i did this at home, for the first time.. and i think i did it wrong.. ever since then my head has been shaking uncontrollably.. but when i rest, its ok..my neck feels tense and my neck hurts alot because i think its trying to balance my head from moving back and forth.. your not alone.. im scared i might have done some more damage to it.. so u can ask a doctor about vertigo or inner ear problem.. i hope this helps and good luck to u.. i have an up coming appt with a specialist so hopefully they fix this because i dont want to live with this for the rest of my life..

I took Prozac for three years and developed a head tremor. I had no clue what it was from and after pushing my doctor I was able to see a nurologist that told me  told me it might  be a permanent condition caused from prozac but to still take prozac? She must be nuts! I stoped immediately. In time the head tremor is better but still showes up sometimes when Im tired or stressed. Its been two years sence I stoped taking it.  If I had known I never would of taken it. I was using it for stress, told my doctor I was depressed to get it. I guess thats what I get for lying.

I have your same condition 100% but I am in afghan before hand I went to Iraq  so I can't relax. It's been going along for 2 years. Nothing from the CT SCAN either

Shaking/Tremors in my head:- it started before 1 yr and its just for some days. and recently my head is shaking in a regular interview from the last 1 week. i dont get any idea why its happens. i take bath, drink something, done some neck exercises, washed my face etc... but still its happening ... vocationally i drinks, smokes and use some pan masalas....pls let me know why its happening..

I noticed my head shaking about 1 year ago (I am 42).
I went to see a chiropractor who told me I had 'forward neck posture'. He told me that if your head is forward, the weight of the head is putting incredible strain on the spine, resulting in the shaking of the head.
Since then I have been doing exercises for a few minutes every day to try and correct my posture, and the head shake has almost gone.
It is still there on a much lesser scale, but as the chiropractor tells me it will not go away overnight completely, as the spine, and nerves takes time to heal.
Try and correct your posture, and see what happens. There are plenty of tutorials on youtube etc that help with forward neck, and other posture problems.

Have you ever had neck problems / tension / trapped nerves? I've suffered a similar thing and also had clear ct scans and neurological examinations which determine nothing. I had always had neck and shoulder pain as a professional cellist but become used to it, I've been seeing a physio to sort out trapped nerves in my right shoulder and neck and the shaking of the head seems to have gotten better as well? I've done research and been told by several osteopaths and massage therapists that poor cervical circulation and nerve supply can cause all sorts of problems, tremor included. Do some reading on  SCM syndrome as well. Do you ever have any dizziness?

[shahidshahid]

You need to do the pranayam (breathing techniques)I suggested on June 23rd, 2009.
That is the way to build up your immune system and energize the cells with extra oxygen.  This is something you do yourself and feel good by doing the pranayam. In turn you can help others.  When the extra oxygen goes into the brain, you will notice the difference.Start the pranayam today and come back to report your progress.

[Miramarie]

I have the same happening.  Mine just started.  My yoga classes just finished and the next week is when this happened.  I am going to try your suggestion. Thank You.

your not the only one with these problems ive been having a head shaking problem for a long time now my head would shake up and down and left to right its starting to get annoying i feel embaressed at work. Im not really depressed or stressed out about anything, ive had MRI's and CT scans and they could never figure anything out....so i started doing research and cant find much..any advice?

[Bellaoftheball]

Hello Alee
I too have a shaking and seems to be more in the third eye area and feels like it is my vision. I am photosensative and my eyes hurt and feel funny when it happens but happens in the middle of the night and upon waking only. It started as a small movement upon waking but before that I had pain in my right eye that was horrible. Went to all the specialists and had CT scan and MRI of brain nothing found. My neck is bad now so I wonder about pinched nerve. However I have high levels of mercury which test results confirmed from a chelation challenge test. Test results came back from states as I live in Canada. Mercury binds to nerves but also effects eyes so not sure about your situation. Look up th Marshall Protocol ...many people that have lime disease or a pathogen have had great results. Ask Dr about parasites and how to test for them in brain. Resonant light machine first used on animals to kill parasites is now being used on humans. I know how you feel mine comes and goes and is more in the forehead and eye area. Let me know what results you may have that are working for you. I hope this will soon be resolved for you. I am starting chelation for mercury removal soon and i am getting the rest of my amalgam filling removed safely by an oral surgeon who is trained in safe mercury removal. All my best to you.

Just an update on my condition... I am currently taking 0.5mg clonazepam, as well as nootrophil and neurontin......

Hope that this combination may work fine.... Shaking is still unbearable at times but I try to cope....

[ggreg]

Kris & Alee,
I'll repeat the list of things people have put in this thread as possible causes of you all's health issues.  I posted these over in Alee's most recent thread.  PLEZ visit a neurologist (and you may not need a scan), and take the list, and see can you guys get some help.
  
Tourettes Syndrome
TMJ
Spasmodic Torticollis (www.spasmodictorticollis.org, www.torticollis.org)
Hypoglycemia
Vitamin deficiency
Cervical dystonia
Dystonia and Torticollis (www.dystonia-foundation.org)

Hope this helps your docs narrow down what might be wrong with this irritating issue you guys share, plus there were two people in this thread that also compared themselves with you two (nealmed and warden63) and made a couple of the above suggestions as to diagnosis, and also a couple docs replied in this thread about your conditions, too.  Best wishes and let us know when you get a neuro appointment.
GG

Ya, I actually feel my heart beat inside my head... Its a kind of shaking that is constant... I have no other symptoms... This shaking alone consumes me... I have to fight constantly to focus on the smallest task.... The shaking causes me to feel unsteady....

I can't work so I think you are more fortunate than me... I really feel like slicing my head open to see what exactly is wrong....

I feel that my brain is not supported properly or something...Sometimes I feel giddy, other times I have an unbearable headache.. I am trying 6-8 painkillers a day to see if it can make the shaking subside a little...
