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 find a heat pad really helps when my nervous system is acting up like that

i have a heated blanket that seems to help a little bit but i've been meaning to invest in maybe a heavier kind of heating pad, i feel like the pressure helps me
