I know someone who has involuntary shaking if he does certain exercises or movements. He controls it with betablockers. Is this a regular thing, or stress related do you think? Either way I would suggest consulting your GP and get a proper diagnosis that you are happy with. That might mean changing your GP of course. It doesn't sound to me as though its just anxiety although if you suffer with anxiety anyway it could affect it.

Yes i think it would defenitly be better for me to double check properly with the gp to see if theres anything else an thanks :)

Hi,

it has happened to me plenty of times. The key is, if you believe in God, read your Bible, that helps me all the time. The key to overcoming anxiety is to not be afraid of it. Let the symptoms happen or get busy doing something when the symptoms start. You will overcome this situation. Best wishes to you!

Yes i will do thank you am sure that will make me feel better an thanks

I don't know if this is what you have. I have restless leg syndrome and I know it sounds weird but I take a few sips of pickle juice to make it feel better. Athletes drink pickle juice to keep from cramping in their legs. Give it a shot, it can't hurt you.

Good morning I dealt with something like that. The body when under stress reacts. Especially at night when it is trying to relax it may shake jump. Move you may get dizzy. Feel anxious cry get mad all of the above and it definitely make your condition worse your so young live your life enjoy I'm 40 lol I'm just learning to live life. One year I been to so many doctors appointment that he wanted to phyc me. That was my rock bottom. Just live life the right way. The universe will be yours. Good luck u will be fine

You have to explain this to doctor...please

Secondly some anti- depressants can cause this in first few months....it did with me until they settled down.

Please do....get someone you trust and understand your problem to go with you and if necessary explain on your behalf....or write it down, even if it is a letter and hand it to the doctor....I always felt it helped if you say to doctor first that you are full of fear and nervous visiting him..he will understand. Do not do what I did...spent years fighting it and believing I could do it on my own...they are years wasted...look for help now...any meds can be short term and could help change your life around...do it..best wishes
