Well ive been to the doctor several times already this year for several symptoms.Ive had a 24 hr holter,chest xray,and bloodwork done on me.The doctors keep saying that all of my symptoms have been due to anxiety/panic,but im a little concerned about the way my head and neck seem to vibrate sometimes.Its almost like it originates from my pulse(the vibrations),it also sometimes radiates to my legs.What has me concerned is that it gives me slight headaches or just isolated poking pains(not really painful) sometimes.Is this panic related? this has been going on since around late february,but just recently started acting up more.Im not anxious or panicky when this happens so i was just confused about it.Anyone have similar symptoms?

Im 23,male and had never had any previous health problems.

Good Morning ! I am sorry to read of your new sx compared to your previous post that I believe you were having issues with breathing.

In my opinion, given these facts, anxiety is the most probable cause...why don't you start treatment for anxiety and see what happens.....then you can prove it to yourself. Many people do not realize they are under stress and keep looking for medical reasons for what is happening to them.

 

I still hate to admit that I have anxiety but accepting is all part of healing.

 

Kindly,

Kitt

Hi and welcome:)

I agree with Kitt, as long as you have been seen by a dr. and everything checked out medically, you should probably proceed with treating the anxiety/symptoms.

I KNOW in my head that my symptoms are from anxiety. I take pretty good care of myself, have good family history, and get regular check-ups, yet everytime I get the anxiety symptoms, it's the same thing. I start 'looking' for alternative sources for it. It almost like my brain just refuses to believe that it is all anxiety related.

I have a mantra that I repeat to myself when I have these moments. I say to myself 'I'm okay, it's anxiety that is causing me to feel this way.' The words that we say to ourselves have power, and even if we don't quite believe what we are saying...it does eventually sink in. Give it a try:)

Also look into getting a referral from you dr. for a therapist who treats anxiety/panic, and visit our Anxiety Resource Guide for more tips and exercises to combat stress and worry.

Glad you have joined us, and post anytime:)

I get these vibrations too but the tend to lead to my whole body vibrating a bit too. Its easier said than done but try not to focus on why your shaking, ignore it, and look for something to do. I find that walking around and taking deep breaths in through my nose and out through my mouth helps me. Hope it works for you. Feel better im right there with ya. They happen to me when im not anxious sometimes too. Im 21 and this happens to me at times im not feeling anxious and im relaxed so trust me you are not alone.
