yogini Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Over the past few months, I've been having a strange feeling like something is vibrating in my chest/stomach area. It doesn't happen every day, just sometimes. When it does happen, it's usually at night. All of the other times it's happened, my pulse has been fine and it's gone away after a few minutes. I never felt dizzy or anything. I thought it was related to POTS, but was never sure. Well, last night I had the same "vibration", only it lasted a while longer and I did feel really dizzy. I checked my pulse and it was high - around 100 when it is usually in the 70s lying down. My BP was a bit higher - 115/75, when it is usually 90/60 lying down. I tried to stand up and felt awful. I took a 1/2 pill extra of my beta blocker and it went away.I haven't heard this symptom mentioned before, so I thought I'd ask if anyone else has it? I've had POTS for almost 2 years and this is a new symptom for me. I am slowly weaning off of my beta blockers, so I am wondering if I am feeling some arrythmias, PACs, PVCs, etc? I have heard others mention this before, but could never feel when it was happening. I also started birth control 10 days ago, which could explain at least the blood pressure part. I am hoping it's just a one time thing. If it happens again I will call my doctor.... Thanks,Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColumbus Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I get fluttering but not vibration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 It's not really a fluttering, it's more like trembling or shaking, but not my whole body, just in a small area around my stomach or chest. It feels kinda the same as when your cell phone vibrates in your pocket, but maybe a little lighter. I have had the fluttering too...

Dizzy Dame Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Does it feel like a muscle twitch? Could that be it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom4cem Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I get palpitations but those feel like flutters. I also get twitches which in some areas feel like the vibration. The last for a few seconds and can come and go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted December 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 It's like a spasm or a twitch, but it's a muscle inside of me that's doing the twitching and it sometimes lasts for a while. I'm hoping it's just an annoying POTS symptom that isn't dangerous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwen Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I get a trembly feeling from my collar bone to my waist "inside". I have no idea what causes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4g7 Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I sometimes get an odd sensation from the inside, which makes it hard to breathe and talk, when I take a deep breath there is a bit of a vibration feeling - I have found that if I push down on my sternum with the heel of my hand quite firmly, there is a little cracking/popping sound, and everything goes back to normal - for some reason I think it is only me that has this - I'm putting it down to another design flaw...
