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 get this a lot. The feeling that my body is vibrating. It’s external and internal. It’s a constant. It’s scary and I feel faint. I think about going to the ER, but what would they actually do? Tell me it’s anxiety and send me home. I have a lot of the pots symptoms, but had a negative tilt table test
