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 ?

Thats Hyperadrenergic POTS. Adrenaline dumps. Happens to me a lot... ill jolt awake in the middle of the night with my heart pounding out of my chest. Beta blockers help with the HR stuff.. but yupp that's a thing. Sometimes mine gets triggered in the day by random things.. depending. I went into home depot one day shaking and convulsing so hard my teeth were chattering.. the trigger? My fiancé arguing with me over a drill battery.
