I’ve had this on and off, tends to happen at night only and once I wake up it fades away.

It’s freaking me out, what’s going on? Could it be palpitations? Or anxiety?

Hi, I have had similiar, it is scary especially when trying to sleep. I sleep almost sitting up , just reclined back a little to help me fall asleep.

There are tremors, vibrations, etc with neuro Lyme and coinfections.

Just always be sure to rule out any other illnesses.

On another note, in case you are taking Sida acuta sometimes a dose too high will cause more symptoms, for me it caused more shakiness, tremors,vibrations until I lowered the dose and found a comfortable dosage that suited me.

Hope this resolves for you soon.

Others should be along to offer suggestions in a bit.

Take care.

Thanks for the response jo, which coinfections could it be? Would increasing my detox help?

I have had this. I don’t think it is from the heart, which you should have checked out just in case. I also have it mostly at night although not as frequently now. It’s almost like anxiety or panic yet I don’t feel those things. Possibly something with fight or flight response of the autonomic nervous system. The amygdala controls this.

Some say retraining brain (like DNRS) can help with this.

I also have chemical sensitivities. My mattress actually exacerbated all my neuro issues.

When I am waking up, sometimes I feel like I am vibrating, literally. Then when I get up it goes away.
During the day, I feel I am having heart palpitations, and I just went to see a doctor - she says my heart rate is ok. But looking in the mirror often I can see my pulse on the side of my neck, or when I lay down my stomach jumps up and down with my pulse.

I think this is some kind of nerve damage and over sensitivity, maybe vagus nerve, I don't know. Or bartonella, or just neuro toxins from borrelia.. I'll start lion's mane to see if it will improve. I am also taking b12 and B complex.

Its hard to say which co-infections since many symptoms can overlap. For myself, I blame Bartonella for my worst symptoms.

I believe it very important to detox.

I do notice a difference in how I feel when I have slacked off the detoxing.

When I feel overloaded with toxins/symptoms from herxing I do step up and follow through with Epsom salt baths, binders, lemon water, and also a mild to moderate walk for exercise.

Hope you get some relief soon!! Take care.

Well I have these organic vibrations, throughout my gut on occasion...sometimes the bacteria are pooping out and this debris interferes with neurotransmitters' processes. (my educated guess! IANAD.) like whatever chemicals make you feel at ease, give you an appetite for sleep and food, the opposite of that lol that's what LymenCos are up to...! I just took a prescribed hydroxyzine pamoate 50mg, to get through a bad spell of moods, they (inflammation of bug debris or activity) can really spur a panic attack with full on adrenal alarm (see HPA axis disruption).

And as far as other sensations in the chest, my whole chest and inner rib cage is sore but I didn't really do that much today, and this is par for the course, to have a heaping of pains and aches from little or no work or exercise.

I'm trying to peel back the layers of what co-infections I have, taking a guess, some strain of bart or babs, maybe tularemia, hhv's fer sure that flare up uncommonly, feels like my system is clogged with cortisol and thick white blood cells around my painful lymphs.

I'm still trying to figure out my strategy going forward myself, mate, wish I had the right words for you.

Some find that turning off cell phones, wifi routers, and electronics can mitigate these sensations, I think I've felt that difference though I'm sensitive to sounds, light and temperature anyway on a rotating unpredictable basis, I wear ear plugs most of the day to get work done, which is a new thing for me, but it helps, helps me sleep too.
