Vein Vibration

No, I'm not crazy, but my veins really do vibrate pretty often. mostly from my knees down but often all over. Once I was getting a phlebotomy, and as the nurse tried sticking me she felt the vibration, as well. I looked at her and asked if she felt it to. She was almost panicked about it.

Does anyone have this going on? Or even know what causes it?

Thanks

...have a lovely weekend y'all.

Noodles, that's exactly what it feels like! I thought I'd lost it, that my imagination was getting to me. I've meant to ask one of my Drs but its one of those things I forget about of course. Thanks for the reply!

At my last venesetion the nurse doing it said she'd hit a valve as she could feel a vibration. I couldn't feel anything. The nurse didn't seem bothered about it and the blood came out as normal and the I've had no effects after it

As I say I didn't feel it and I've never felt it before or after.

I'm surprised you couldn't feel it Mark. That's just as well. It doesn't hurt, just sometimes feels odd, strange. Thanks for the reply!

Hi Litefootes,

You definitely are not crazy, I get lots of vibrating sensations manly in my thigh, I often go for my mobile as I think it is vibrating in my pocket, and it isn't ! Some times it happens in my calf and upper arms, I was seen by a neurologist and had some muscle electro tests the results were all within normal range,I have been given various explanations surgesting it is to do with having too many blood cells fighting for position as they flow round ! Who knows, I ignore it now and am confident it is nothing to worry about.

Have Fun,

Ourlife

Oh good, I was hoping I wasn't crazy, ourlife! I'm glad to see that others have this sensation as well. When I mention it to friends or family they look at me oddly. Good to hear you had it checked out and w good results, because I really didn't want to go on a hunt for trouble. I did assume it was due to thick blood, and it sounds like that is what it is. I'm also going to assume that its going to be fine! :)

Thanks for the reply.

OMG, Carol...never heard of such a thing! Like they say, "Each one of us is different". I have bad venous reflux and nerve pain in my legs, and I'll fall down if I close my eyes for more than a blink (Romberg positive), and I'm a very difficult "stick" for any phlebotomist, but haven't felt any vibrations. God bless you, Girl.

Oh its all good, jerry, its not exactly painful nor is it the worst of the symptoms of pv. The total exhaustion is so much more intolerable. BUT.... if you wake up and can get out of bed each morning... its a blessing.

Thanks for the reply!

I get this sensation mainly in my legs, its so hard to explain to people without sounding loony! On some bad days I get it all over, it feels so weird.

Litefootes profile image
Litefootes in reply toCapri52

It does feel weird, and sometimes sort of uncomfortable. I usually get up and do stretches or walk around to distract myself, if nothing else. SO glad to know I'm not the only one!

Thanks for the reply Capri

I have the same thing going on with me, vibrations in my legs from knees down. I know I have varicose veins and think about having the removed or lasered. So glad to see I'm not alone as far as vibrating legs and into my feet.

Happens to me. Freaks me the shit out and makes me feel crazy cos the moment I call out to someone to look it stops, then I feel weird . Thank goodness I whispered and a friend caught it live. No explanations up untill now. Atleast now I know my cells just fighting for position...

Lol I thought I’m the only one having this weird feelings, thanks for posting. I just read through the comments and it has helped me a lot...... I was bothered, I planned a check up with my doctor!

I’m not sure I get a similar feeling I asked my doctor and they weren’t sure how to figure out what it is! It’s almost like I feel the blood or if I were holding a hose and in the middle then let go and it’s the rush of it starting a flow again

Noticed this vibration some weeks back. Its really scaring since.am hypertensive .. I have this odd feeling that am about to have a heart attack.it just reoccured some.minutes back that was when I decided to goggle it and I was directed to this wonderful house. Pray its nothing serious.

I know exactly how you feel. I am prone to anxiety attacks and have very high blood pressure. This vibrating thing is very new and I am certain it will be brushed over by everyone like every other symptom I have gone to the ER for since I was diagnosed as having anxiety and panic attacks...last time I went in with a broken bone and still had to demand an x-ray...

Anyways, my theory is that the vibration is heartward of a small clot or partial blockage of a large vein and the vibration is the turbulence of the blood as it flows over or around. Very similar to the cavitation in a garden hose if you squeeze it or bend it slightly partially obstructing the flow. I have very high blood pressure and this happens sometimes when I have injured myself and then my BP gets elevated (a bad bruise on the back or overextended knee - with the buzzing felt in my right shoulder and thigh).

I dunno if I am right, I got online today trying to find something about it, but ended here instead. Hope this helps.

I have been having these for about two weeks now. I'm 34 and have been pretty healthy all my life except for at 3 and 9 years old I had to have surgery and a portion of my right thigh removed due to a leaking vein. About a year and a half ago I got a bruise that has never healed and last week finally got a diagnosis of necrobiosis lipoidica. I've been having weird sharp pains in my leg veins, but now vibration also in my legs and sometimes chest or neck. Did you ever find out the cause for you? Is it still ongoing for you?

I’ve been having the same problem for a while now. It only happens in my left leg from the hips and down. I’ve had it on the top of my foot, near my groin, on my shin and now a small spot on the middle front of my thigh. Only one time did it happen in my neck for a few moments. It’s so frustrating as when I do get them, such as now, they can last a while and it’s too distracting and annoying. I’ve had them last overnight before where I wake up and notice them not long after. I have to put pressure on the spot to somewhat relieve it. My doctor said it could be because of tense muscles.

Yeah I think I have something like this. I currently sometimes have angina due to atrial spasms which are controlled with medications. I feel these shivering sensations most often when I'm at rest, like lying in bed. I first felt it in my heart, but I believe it may actually be from my nearby arteries. I can now feel it in much of my body, even my toes. It's a shivering/shuddering/trembling sensation. But it doesn't show up in my KardiaMobile EKG and my cardiologist doesn't know what it is when I describe it to him. I think it's possible that the sensation may be my arteries/veins quivering. And I think it may be associated with my atrial spasm problem. Whether it'll keep getting worse and eventually kill me, I'm not sure.

Not what you're looking for?
