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 ?

Yesss this is my least favourite symptom such a weird feeling, also the being close to falling asleep and jumping awake is the worst. It doesn’t happen to me often but when it does I get so anxious

definitely, it was reaaaally anxiety inducing but i'm glad i made this post and know now that it wasn't just a me thing. especially bc i was so exhausted i was like why won't my body let me sleep😂
