Vibrating feeling when laying down/sitting down

Hello,

I found an earlier thread on this topic to be very helpful - but would still like to hear from others who may be experiencing this new - and horrible sensation. For the past few weeks, and specifically last 5 consecutive nights, I have felt like there is something vibrating all the floors in my house - no matter where I lay down, I felt it. On two different beds, and several sofas. You can imagine how tired I am, with this unresolved issue.

Today I had the plumber by, and the landscape guy. I've tried every physical diagnosis: is the A/C unit, secured by thin metal straps to the underside of my floor, causing the vibrations? Is the water pressure, or somehow the water to new landscaping, causing this? But it's not intermittent, it's been 24/7 no relief.

The one thing that made me feel 'okay, I'm not crazy' was that I was WOKEN UP at 5 am by what I thought was an earthquake - I live in Los Angeles so this would not be far-fetched. That was yesterday and today, and I know and could hear the sprinkler system going. But when two professionals come, listen to pipes, test various things, and say they don't feel the vibrations...I don't know what to think.

My neighbor said she DID feel the vibration on the bed, and my tenant said he could feel 'a tingling in his feet' from the floors. So I would still prefer to believe it is a real physical thing and NOT caused by anxiety, fibromyalgia (which I was diagnosed with 20 years ago but have been living fairly meds- and pain-free), or anything else.

I am re-starting this post to hear what others have experienced, and how they dealt with it. Maybe I am becoming anxious, but after 5 sleepless nights, you kind of don't know if you're coming or going, what's real, what's imagined, you know?

It feels, as others have mentioned, like a big truck or train is rumbling by, and you feel the vibrations. I don't hear any humming, it's not localized to any one part or side of my body. I do live next to a freeway and who knows? Maybe they are doing some crazy construction somewhere down the line and I am just sensitive (like "The Princess and the Pea"). But really - I want to find this darn pea and get rid of it so I can sleep!

I do have a handyman coming tomorrow, and electrician, but after that it's an exorcist or moving.

Suggestions/advice? Thank you so much. It's making me bat**** crazy. Really mental. Awful

Hi there,
Have you tried to sleep in a different house for a while?
That way you can see if it happens there too.

Thank you everyone for sharing your experience and your suggestions. I am spending the night elsewhere tonight, to determine if it's my house or my body! Will keep you informed. Thank you again.

Thank you Louise. I did sleep in another house in an entirely different county last night...and yes everythign shook so it's me. Saw my doctor, she had me lay down on the examination table and lift up my hands and there was no tremor. She took a blood test and said something about 'thyroid'. In the meantime, she gave me a strong dosage of Xanax so I can sleep. I am hopeful we will get to the bottom of it.
It has not changed - I am fine sitting, standing, walking, all normal motor activity. It's only when I lie down that I feel the tremors/vibrations. I also feel it may be an ear thing!

I have had a vibrating feeling whenever I sit down, as if I have my phone in my pocket (I never do). It's the weirdest thing. It's been a week now, and it doesn't matter what I wear. For me, I am assuming a small muscle spasm, but it's so light that as soon as I notice it, it's gone. Peculiar!

I have a very slight vibration feeling today, and also seem to be dealing with a flare (rats! I was doing so well...).

My ears felt full yesterday, and I dealt with an all-day 'headache' over one eye. I think at least some of it is sinus related, as steaming seems to be clearing me out. I wonder if that vibration would be related to pressure or such in the ears? Thankfully, it's a little better today.

For me, I have a hard time telling the difference between fibromyalgia pain and my sinuses acting up. Then again, I'm thinking it's all somewhat related.  My sinuses have always been touchy, and can make me feel weird---like getting motion or vibration just out of the blue.

Hope you're better soon!  As I always say, fibro is just plain weird.  You never know what it's going to pull on you next!

I have had the sensation you describe. I felt like I was lying next to a clothes washer that was on the spin cycle. Mine was obvious, as I could look at things next to the bed and when I was vibrating and they were also. I watched a lamp move across the table once...it was funny and scary at the same time. The Hubby could feel me shaking the bed and took me to the ER in the middle of the night where they ran extensive tests and found nothing. Rheumy said it was muscles shaking when I relaxed. And it went away...thank goodness.

Hi there
I get the same thing. For me, the neurologist DX'd it as benign essential tremor. Pretty early stages for me - mostly its very subtle and barely noticable. But it gets really bad when I've overdone things and (shocker) triggered a fibro flare-up. LOL.

I can usually manage thru the shaking while I'm up and trying to navigate the day. Just takes longer to do things and I try to avoid any tasks requiring fine motor skills on those days. The more disconcerting part is when I'm laying down trying to go to sleep and it feels like the whole bed is shaking.

Have a blessed day!

Hi everyone I am new to this site as well and I have had this vibration for three years now as if there was a vibrator in bed with me and then I thought my boyfriend had a vibrator in bed with us and I know that it sounds crazy but him and I have had problems because I was thinking that then I started taking notice where all I was feeling this feeling and it was mainly when I was sitting down or laying down but would also feel this feeling on the ground. I haven't been to the doctor about this because again for a long time thought it was my boyfriend and then maybe just in the past year realizing that is was something else and I have asked people do you feel that and they would just look at me funny so I didn't say any more. I remember the ground feeling like that and at the same time I felt it a dog we had at the time was just laying down sleeping and at the very moment I felt the vibration in the floor he jumped up running around barking looking at the door. I am very confuse and a little worried about this and when I put it in the search bar for Google and this site came up I had to see if I am really crazy or if someone else was feeling this stuff to. I know I also would look around when I would feel the vibration and I could see the water in the glass on the night stand moving like the lampshade as well I have noticed the cabinets shaking and the curtains so I know something is going on I just don't k ow what it is so if any one has any idea what might be going on with me I would really appreciate your input if not I just might be going crazy after all thanks so much for your time.

I have vibrations that happen when I am in bed, I thought my husband was hiding a cell phone somewhere. It caused some issues, he begged me to google it and Apparently it is linked to Fibro. I told my doctor and he looked at me like I was making it up, wrote it in my chart and that's that. I thought I was crazy and cried when I read that this happens. Now that I am relieved at knowing that it's not in my head, I'm frustrated because my doc didn't try to help and I'm so tired.

I will get buzzing anyplace on my body. Lately I've been getting buzzing on my left arm. I wear an Apple Watch and when the buzzing happens, I check to see if I am getting a message! Nope! Just fibro striking again. 😂😂😂
