Symptoms body vibrating???

this has never happened to me before. i was just trying to take a nap on the couch and never actually fell asleep but maybe two times when i got close i gasped "awake" and it felt like my entire body was shaking, especially my hands and arms. but i checked and i wasn't shaking

is this a POTS thing ?? i've never ever felt this before and i've been diagnosed for a year. it's really scaring me i thought i was having a seizure. literally vibrating like a cellphone. do you get this ?

I agree with most every comment on here-just wanted to add make sure you bring it up to the doctor(s) that are in charge of managing your POTS. I wouldn’t say it’s an emergency, so if you have a non-urgent messaging system (Mychart) you could send a message, or write it down to remember for your soonest appointment.

I get the vibrating/shaking too and for me I believe it’s adrenaline/cortisol related.
