gjensen Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Does anyone else have this happen, without feeling cold? Most often this happens as I drift off to sleep and it is associated with a disrupted breathing pattern where I tremble. Occasionally, this happens as I relax enough to go to sleep. Also in spells, I can initiate it with swallowing. I have not seem where anyone else experiences this, and I am unable to find a satisfactory answer.

gertie Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 How long does the episode last? I experience all over shaking & teeth chattering uncontrollably at times that last a few min when I've had a shock or scare . I don't feel cold but I can't stop shaking. I feel it looks like I'm having convulsions but I'm conscious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KareBear Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I wonder if adrenaline surges could cause this. I dont get teeth chattering but if I am awakened from sleep or wake before my body is ready I feel like my insides tremor and my hands do visibly tremor. It's like my whole body is shaking.

gjensen Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I have had some adrenalin like surges, mostly in the mornings. This teeth chattering is often associated with trembling. Sometimes not. At night. Before or after I go to sleep. Sometimes the swallowing motion triggers it the chattering alone. They only last a few minutes. A lot of times less than that.

Bigskyfam Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I experience it. Comes with tremors. Haven't experienced as many lately. I think that's due to reducing my stress and knowing that it is a symptom of pots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjensen Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 It is of some comfort to know that others experience it with POTS. Originally it disturbed me more that it does now, like a lot of the symptoms. Just accept them at some point. I wish that I understood the process better. I keep looking it up, but have never found an answer that satisfies me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutPeace Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yes, I've experienced this too, with body tremors. The adrenalin surges seem like that could fit - although I have certainly had surges without teeth chattering too. I do also get that cold-to-the-bone feeling at other times with or without teeth chattering. I have checked my temperature a few times and discovered a low body temp...but no goosebumps or feeling cold on the outside...weird?!The last time I had the teeth chattering/tremors was about 1/2 hr after the TTT. I had passed out (BP 60/34 HR 35) and when I think about other times its happened, it seemed to follow a nasty near syncope while sitting. So may be connected to BP drops??The swallowing trigger is not something that I experience, so it may be a different thing all together.Wish I could be of help...I would love to have an explanation too!
