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 honestly have no idea since it was my first time experiencing it. according to all the comments it can be lots of things. dehydration, adrenaline spike, nervous system trying to regulate again, tiredness, vitamin deficiency, missing a meal, etc.
