Hi all, i have been having internal body tremors now for about a month these happen in the legs arms hands and head there not visible to everyone else but i can feel them.it is happening allday,for the past 6 months i have been going through alot of stress with problems with my eyes and health anxiety, i had a corneal graft about a month ago and since then i have been shaking constantly,i have seen a couple of doctors and they think its stress related but i am starting to think otherwise im worried about ms or parkinsons disease as this is happening allday everyday for a month and surely stress does not do this to you? I am a 31 year old male,any opinions would be great thankyou

Couple of months ago i was having stomach problems constipation,diarreah and my stomache was constantly making sounds and i was havin i wouldnt say severe pains bit i was having aches anyway they did a calprotectin test and it came back slightly over normal so was asked to repeat the test and it came back literally a mark just in the normal range so the doctor has sent me to see a gastro doctor to get it checked to be in the safe side,should i be worried? My bowl issues seem to have dissapeared and i cant see the gastro doctor untill feb.thankyou

I had this test a couple of months ago. Mine was in the normal range, I wouldn't be too concerned if it's at the upper end of normal. Doc is just making sure all is ok. If it was really high (in the thousands) thatd be more of a concern

Potter86
05-12-17, 21:54
Has anyone ever had internal vibrations in the body on a constant basis for months? My whole body feels like it is vibrtating and it feels like my brain is shaking and jerking from side to side ive seen a few docs which just basically ignore it and put it down to stress but this is happening allday.has this ever happened to anyone else????

Hi Potter86,

I have the vibrating sensation too, sometimes it feels like my legs are vibrating. Sometimes my head feels like it's vibrating too. I use to have burning/numbness sensation in my hands and feet, but than i devolope all over body twitching and forgot about it an it went away. I also have water drop sensation all over my body.

Most definitely. I've been in therapy for health anxiety for over a year and a half and I feel like I'm getting worse and not better. I was actually just thinking about how I'm constantly fretting over my health, whether it's obvious things like a swollen lymph node, or just worrying about an itch, or a pimple in an odd spot, or even fretting about whether my urine might be too light or too dark, and so on. It seems like every day there's something setting off my health anxiety.

Potter86
07-12-17, 22:06
Its funny you say that ive been checking my urine latley wondering why its always light and clear 😆

Definition of Health Anxiety: "Health anxiety is an anxiety condition that is often housed within the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) spectrum of disorders. Those affected by health anxiety have an obsessional preoccupation with the idea that they are currently (or will be) experiencing a physical illness".
So -------- YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So after seeing my doctor on saturday who told me she doesnt think i have ms or brain tumour and thinks its all down to stress and anxiety you would think id start feeling much better now? Not really i still have this internal vibrating and my head is stll twitching and jerking from side to side and when i look at my phone the screen looks as if its moving from side to side its really annoying!!!the doctor has given me proproponol(spelling) but doesnt seem to be doing much,when i lie down and put my hands on my head i can feel it gently twitching and jerking about!!i dont wsnt to keep going back the doctors and i want to take there word for it being nothing serious,so if it is anxiety is it normal to be having these teitches and tremors for over 2 months? Anyone with any experience of these? Thanks for any replies

Anxiety is like a campfire. When you're in the midst of a spiral the fire is burning bright and hot. When the flames die down, there's still a bed of red hot coals burning away just waiting for some more fuel. You may not feel anxious but your body is still on high alert and has a bed of hot anxiety coals inside just waiting to flare up. Just like a campfire, the hot coals of anxiety take a long time to finally go out.

I am freaking out at the minute because my body is constantly shaking and my brain feels like its jerking from side to side constantly this has been happening now for about 2 months and its constant i have seen 4 diff docs who have all dismissed it as anxiety and wont reffer me to see a neuro doctor,id understand if this had happened for a day or 2 but 2 months??? Yes its constantly on my mind which probs makes it worse but my vision flickers aswell,its driving me insane id love to think it was just stress and anxiety but its happening when im on my own at home and i feel it most when i lie down its like my body jumps inside!!!!im scared i have ms or a brain tumour and i feel stupid to keep going back the doctors over and over again.i suffer from health anxiety and im waiting for a therapy session but i cant help but think this is something serious.opinions would be appreciated

In August of last year, my wife took terribly ill and spent over two months in the hospital. It was touch and go for a couple for weeks during that time. To say I was under a lot of stress is an understatement.

I don't suffer with anxiety but I can tell you with 100% certainty that stress causes all sorts of physical and nervous system symptoms. From muscle twitching to loss of appetite to headaches to lack of sleep, you name it I had it.

It persisted for several months even after she came home. From reading here, I knew without a doubt that what I was experiencing were the physical ramifications of stress. Like I say often about anxiety....

Just like a campfire, the hot coals of anxiety take a long time to finally go out.

And yes, the symptoms eventually waned as she recovered.

Absolutely 100% yes, it can.

Think about it, have you heard the phrase 'stress can kill'? If it can kill you, then it can make you feel like crap, easily.

The trick, is to let the stress and anxiety pass over you. Let it happen. Then it gets a lot easier and eventually fades away.

Sleeping in silence is the worst, I have no idea how people do it. I can relate to all of those things, you hear every little thing your body does. I sleep with a fan running every night. It's torture to sleep in silence, I don't sleep at all if I ever have too which is rare cause I always bring one when I go away. I have done it because of my parents since I was little. Now with the newer health anxiety I can't imagine how bad it would be without. The best thing about a fan is it's a constant, consistent noise, any irregular noise and I'm up all night.

melfish
15-12-17, 05:35
I am the opposite. I look forward to the escape sleep provides. It's waking up I hate, when the thoughts come rushing back in, and the panic rises, and the dry-retching kicks in

I have never suffered from any form of anxiety up untill this year and im 31 now,it all started at the start of the year when my eye condition started to progress and for some unknown STUPID reason i googled eye cancer just what was i thinking!!!!for 2 weeks solid i googled everyday eye cancer symptoms and was in the mirror checking them on a constant basis convinced i had it CONVINCED there was no other thing it could be right? Untill i finally saw my eye surgeon who told me i 100% didnt have it,PHEW.Then a week later i had a urine test done for a pre operation assesment and boom there was a slight trace of blood in it so what do i do?i google youd think id of learned my lesson but nope...convinced i had kidney or bladder cancer CONVINCED there was nothing else it could be right? Repeated 6 urine samples(clear)and about 20 doctors visits later i didnt have any of them cancers PHEW survived again...then my stomache started making all sorts of sounds and i had a hard stomache and constipation for a few weeks now this was deffo colon cancer it couldnt be anytthing else right??? After 10 more doctors appointments and days and weeks of googling turns out i didnt have colon cancer?survived cancer again,id become a complete nervous wreck!!!stopped leaving the house stopped going out with friends stopped doing all the things i loved to do put a few stone in weight on and spent most of my time in doctors surgeries and on my phone googling infact im that clued up now on all these diseases i think I could be a doctor😂...some of the things i used to do and still do that people probably can relate to are id come back from the doctors slightly relieved then within an hour i would start to worry i had forgot to tell the doctor about a particular symptom so i would panic they had miss diagnosed me and the worry would start again,i would notice every single twitch pain or sound in my body and think it was a symptom,the hours and hours of googling i have done is frightening really......at this minute i have ms or brain tumour because my body is constantly jerking vibrating and shaking lets be honest its probs all the stress and anxiety i have been going through all these months about HEALTH ANXIETY....i feel for anybody with health anxiety and going through the same thing i wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy.i started cbt after the new year and im really looking forward to it and hopefully kicking this health anxietys arse!!!

ive posted on here quite a few times now about my symptoms mainly vibrating in the head and legs and the stress ive been under this year with health anxiety and my medical condition (eyes) ive seen numerous docs which point it all to stress and anxiety but this brain tumour one i cant seem to kick ive been havin vibration feelings for 2 months but latley my head feels like its on a roundabout!!! I stand in the shower and it feels like my legs are really weak and i feel so dizzy i feel like im going to fall,when i go on walks it feels like the ground is moving and latley when i have been lying down i can feel a thudding sound in my ear like a pulse and my body shakes with it especially my vision,when im lying down head on pillow looking at my phone i can hear the throbbing and my phone screen appears to gently move side to side is this normal with stress and anxiety?ive had other anxiety symptoms which have gone but if this is actually an anxiety and stress symptom and not a neuro illness im really struggling to kick it,i have cbt starting in jan i just worry that this is more serious that anxiety.can anyone relate to this thankyou. Oh and ive mentioned before in my left hand between thumb and finger i can constantly see the skin twitching.

Had very similar symptoms stemming from stress that started in June (finally starting to get better and my symptoms are reducing/disappearing)

Had an eyelid twitch for 5 months along with jerks/twitches everywhere else in my body. I started taking Magnesium and B-Complex (B12) as per doctor and things improved. I'd ask your doctor about it. B12 is good for the nervous system.

Best wishes

19-12-17, 10:48
Sorry for the late reply I've been really busy. I went to the doctor she said it was magnesium deficiency and anxiety. The vibrations, numbness burning sensation went away, but i still twitch a few times a day. Depends on my anxiety haha.

Have i got parkinsons?is it a problem with my ears? These are all the thoughts going through my mind,ive been on the ms forum and peoples symptoms are so like mine.i have been down all avenues i must of been the doctors 10 times over the past couple of months none of them seen remotley interested and just keep saying its anxiety untill i demanded a neuro appointment which is not for 4 months!!!!i have even been up accident and emergency they dismissed it also,im losing my mind here i am convinced its a neuro disease surely there is no way brain jerks on a constant basis and my head feels like its on a boat in some hectic waves in the oceon can be all down to just stress!!!!!!i know no one on here can diagnose me but i feel better for writing on here,anyone with any opinions and advice would be fantastic as my friends and family all think im nuts and over exaggerating it doenesnt feel like its going to get any better 😢

Hey, I want to tell you that my grandma felt the exact same way like you (feeling that the brain twitches, her location was on forehead) when she was young. She got all types of tests back then and all came back clear, she is now old and living without any issues. I hope you will relax after you read this since it's the same situation like yours. I also went to many docs and they weren't worried about what I said, so there's no choice but wait.

Potter86
27-12-17, 22:51
I am absolultley convinced now i have MS. Symptoms over the last 6 months that have come and gone are frequent urination,burning hands and skin,shaking of the eyes and face and eye twitchhing and the internal vibrations in the legs and arms have lessened but are still there from time to time,constant bowl sounds and constipation and skin swelling around rectal area(embarrassing i know). Symptoms that are present now are brain jerks,like a pulsing in my head what makes lookin at objects like my phone screen move,dizziness when standing and walking as if im on a boat with spaghetti legs,brain rumbles like thunder occasionly (mainly happens when im around lots of people for some reason) feels like there is something stuck in my throat like food or something it isnt that irritating but its been there a while sometimes i notice it sometimes i dont,and bow i have visual snow and i still have that random twitching under my skin between the thumb and finger on left hand.also aching calfs and stiff lower back.

i am sorry for constant posting on here about this its just all my friends and family are sick of me going on about it,i feel as if i cant go the doctors anymore because ive been loads of times i just feel like they dont take my symptoms seriously,i have demanded a neuro appointment which is in april which feels like a life time away,i have made mistakes like going on the ms website which has scared the life out of me because all my symptoms are that of ms!!!i start cbt in jan because i know i have health anxiety issues i admit to that but these synptoms i am experiencing now are very real and i cant get my head around it being soley anxiety im none stop thinking i have ms,it should be a time of going out and enjoying myself but i cant get it off my mind

Hey,

Could understand how this could be quite alarming if you aren’t used to it but I get this ‘visual snow’ like all the time, especially if I stare at a screen for too long! Pretty sure it’s just your eyes getting a bit tired and confused, I also sometimes get it as visual aura before a mirgraine but it’s really nothing to worry about and not a sign of anything serious.

You may have even had it before but not really noticed until you became anxious about your other symptoms and it is causing you to constantly evaluate if you’re feeling ok

I've been there before. I'm in the breast cancer hole at the moment, convinced every slight mark or spot is a sign of breast cancer and checking my breasts multiple times each day convinced I can feel some lumps or bumps. When I was in the MS hole (it was a few years ago now) I developed strange hot and cold feelings at on my skin, numbness in one foot and the strange feeling that I had a hair wrapped round my toe or a piece of paper stuck to my foot every time I took a step. I distinctly remember lying in bed crying to myself because I was so utterly convinced I had it. My doctor refused to send me for tests because he was absolutely convinced it was my anxiety and he was right, although I think he would eventually have referred me if it had persisted. I can't even remember now how I moved on from it. I feel just as bad in the place I'm in right now. I'm also getting over the flu which has left me so exhausted and low and it seems to have taken away all my energy to fight the thoughts.

Been Waking up all week with serious back ache and serious body shaking it eases off throughout the day but still there 24/7 i dont know how much more i can take of this shaking malarky driving me insane,do i go back the Doctors even though they keep fobbing me off?or do i wait untill my neuro appoinment in april and start my cbt in jan and try to excersise as much as possible and see how i feel?my temptation is to go the doctors again but i dont know if theres much else i can do!!!!if this is just stress and anxiety then it's a sickner

It’s stress and anxiety I had similar symptoms and fear of ms too....it’s what the mind can do too you and the effect it has on the nervous system. It’s been going on for months esp the eye symptoms you mentioned I have too. Have you tried something like mindfulness like headspace? The more you worry that you have ms the worse you and your symptoms will become. I seriously do not think you have ms (trust me I thought I had it too) and all my docs visits and physical neuro tests were fine. Yet I was still convinced something is seriously wrong with me. Now however I’ve eased up on thinking about ms. Do not google your symptoms!

Im not going to bore people with all the details again but i guess i need opinions of people with anxiety or knowledgeable about it.ive been struggling all last year and i keep getting inner body jerks you cant see me jerking but inside i can feel my body jerking backward and forward like a car stalling but obviously not as rough and im having inner tremors.can i just ask peoples opinions can long term stress and anxiety cause this?over 2 months now of these shakes/jerks/vibrations and im really struggling.opinions appreciated

Things like this can be caused by the excess adrenaline produced by the body during times of high anxiety. Usually, adrenaline is only produced to compensate for a situation that requires it, therefore it’s “burned”.

In times of high anxiety, however, adrenaline is essentially produced to deal with a situation that doesn’t require it, so the body expells it in other ways, such as muscular twitches and jerks.

Struggle getting out of bed?not because you simply cant or your fatigued or anything just the fact your convinced you have an illness and you have no get up and go and getting out of bed is a serious task? Does anyone have all these symptoms then you look back on previous years and think that time i had a numb leg maybe that was a symptom back then?anyone else have to fight to stay off googling symptoms?constant need to speak to a doctor convinced they have got it wrong,the mind fixated on the symptoms and i mean every single second your awake,the feeling of dread that the symptoms you are feeling are never going to go and your not gonna be able to return back to the life you used to live?seeking reassurance if friends and family to the point where they now just ignore you,looking for success stories to make you feel better then in the next breathe looking at the worst case scenario stories which lead you back into doom and gloom,when you do go out with friends and family you end up leaving early and making excuses so you can go back home and back on this site or other forums and dr google.......i have all of these and more i have become a recluse i have put 3 stone in weight on last year when i used to be trim and really out going,health anxiety really is hard im sure many on here can relate

Hi Potter86 well I don't have HA but know what you are going through. Many a time years back I would lie in bed all day and stay up all night it was a terrible existence I also gained a lot of weight due to me over eating to make me feel comforted in fact I gained 5 stone :eek: I have had to take stock of my self and had a wake up call in many areas of my life :) While my life is far from perfect I have lost that 5 stone and don't lie in bed all day. The thing is you know you have HA so when are you going to take action and get some help that's if you want to get better! ATB

08-01-18, 12:20
So just spoke to my doctor again to see if there was anything she could do for these shakes vibrations and constant bloody tremor,she said she cant push me up the list for my neuro appointment in april because she doesnt think its serious enough,also said she doesnt think its MS or parkinsons as my symptoms dont fit with them(even though every symptom i have is the same as them with parkinsons and MS) so annoying when you feel like your whole body is stuck to a vibrating machine and its jerking you everywhere!!!CBT in an hour lets see what she has to say

usman081
08-01-18, 17:59
Yes I feel internal tremors and at times these tend to be converted to body shakes and tremors. I do feel my hands and legs shaking , I do feel adrenaline rush , crawling sensation on skin and recently got visual problems ( flashing stars , vibrations ) etc. Have been to doc and just coming from her , she doubled dose today and said all these are pretty much with anxiety as these two days have been worst for me

If it helps someone I know had a numbness and tingling down one side of her body for over a year, she too was convinced it was something more sinister. Then it went away. She is in full health 3 years later. Please don't think too much into it.. it's most likely stress and the more you worry the longer it'll stay for. Hope you're okay soon x

I have an eye condition anyway but recently I'm noticing thousands of little black dots in my vision God knows shat it is,I woke up last night with the back of my head really twitching and vibrating and a lump in my throat it's really hard to believe it's anxiety

09-01-18, 13:54
Ive repeated myself many times on here thinking i have MS i am convinced i have....anyway i have started noticing there are constant black dots in my vison not floaters but thousands of little dots they are alot more noticible at night,i have been to see my eye specialist who runs her own clinic and shes looked at them and cant find anything wrong with them......if there was eye problems with ms would she be able to tell?or is it the brain thats sending these signals so she wouldnt be able to see it?thanks

Optician would have looked at back of eye (retina/optic nerve), so I would not worry about MS. Sometimes MS can present with optic neuritis, which is usually very painful, so you'd know about it.

What you describe sounds benign to me.

Hello there is certainly no pain tbere just i suppose you coukd say its visual snow but its there constant only for the past few days.my heslth anxiety is starting to go towards parkinsons now as my head shakes and tremors and body is like a motor bike revving up

09-01-18, 17:02
Sounds like you had a thorough check from the eye specialist - they know their stuff and if they even thought something was a possibility would have referred you for other tests. They're trained for red flags that need referring.

I had an eye panic recently based on some daftness my anxiety put in my head. The problem is your eye is a really imperfect thing - it's a ball of jelly full of cells and broken-off bits of tissue, attached to a retina which reads the image upside-down and has most of its information filled in and rectified by our brain. I was also noticing all kinds of visual disturbances at night - probably normal stuff I've always had but never spent time looking at the ceiling in the near-dark with my anxiety head on.

My point is once you start thinking too hard about your eyesight you notice all kinds of weirdness your brain usually filters out.

^^ THIS!

Your brain has spent YEARS, your entire life, in fact, learning to filter this stuff out. You are retraining it to not only notice this "noise", but to treat it as a threat. Trust me, this is a bad road to go down. Tune it out, stop scrutinising your vision, before you notice more stuff you'll wish you hadn't

You see my worries and i know googling is the absolute worst thing to do but you type in internal tremors and shakes the feed is just full of ms and parkinsons,if my tremor was now n then or when i felt really anxious i would understand but my body vibrates and shakes 24/7

09-01-18, 23:40
Absolutely have internal tremors. The wierdest part is they are on the left side of my body only. And it is the whole left side of my body, my leg, foot, butt cheek, body, arm, cheek, eardrum and left side of my lip. All at once. Weird, right?

Thing is, I had a full brain MRI because of an aneurysm follow up, and there is nothing going on to cause it. It is just anxiety.

Anxiety does the weirdest things to us, and we can't let ourselves believe it is just anxiety.

I cant see a neuro untill april my doctors keep telling me stress and 2 eye docs cant find anything up with ny eyes,so why the hell am i having all these weird brain symptoms!!!!arghhhhhhhh

Going out my mind with worry brain has none stopped jerking for 24 hours i have been describing it on here as head tremors it is actually more like seizures,both eyes are losing vision and there are thousands of black dots in my vision,i had trauma with my eye in 2012 when i had a failed corneal graft due to an accident this is probably where its stemmed from.i thought ms or parkinsons but this has to be a brain tumour what else causes visions issues and seizures in the brain!!!!!i have been going the doctors for a good 6 months and theyve been throwing me out the door i have been a n e i have been walk in centres ive seen 4 or 5 eye doctors i just knew something isnt right!!!!im seeing a retinal specialist in a couple of hours see what they say if he says nothing ill be going back to a n e to get this sorted once and for all

I do believe you're experiencing SYMPTOMS (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/articles/symptoms) but 5 doctors and testing say otherwise as well as the fact you're posting here.

I've known of anxiety sufferers that have been literally bedridden for months! What about those that have such severe Agoraphobia that they never leave the house or those with severe stomach and bowel issues? Anxiety can be debilitating and cause real physical symptoms. The symptoms can be treated but treating the root of the problem can also treat the symptoms associated with it.

16-01-18, 17:55
Id like to ask if anyone has any knowledge or opinions please....

So my symptoms are getting worse daily i now have 2 completely blocked ears with like a clicking and thudding in both of them and im now realising this is where the shaking is coming from....my eyes are also so bad its like a layer of sludge has come over my vision (yet the eye docs have completely checked them over back and front of eyes and cant see any problem)

This all started in november and have gradually worsened.my mate whos a nurse practioner says if it was a brain tumour it would be one eye or one ear but not both is this true?i have 2 blocked ears 2 blurred eyes and i have that dizziness like im on a boat feeling.....now im starting to hope its some sort of build up of mucus or something in the ears but then i think well why are the eyes blurring over? Still strongly think i have a brain tumour just wondering if anyone knows if infection could cause this what doctors have not picked up on?

I see the doctor AGAIN thursday and my eye doc wants see me again next tuesday for another look.....

I apologise for going on and on but this is an horrendus time and everyone else around me is sick of hearing me go on n on haha

16-01-18, 18:02
I've had these same symptoms for 2 weeks. If you've seen an eye doctor and a GP then the chances of this being a tumor of any kind are almost 0. Optometrists are often the ones who spot such things first due to changes in and behind the eye because of increased skull pressure.

Also as stated before there is no way you'd pass a basic neuro test if you had serious problems.

I had my first panic attack since may last year today due to issues with dizziness, lightheadedness and so on. When I was panicking I could see the walls moving further away like the hallway was getting longer. Then in my room it looked like the wallpaper was crawling, stretching and shrinking.

When the panic passed, the visual problems stopped. So...the chances of it being consistently high anxiety? Almost certain.

I went the doctors again today because my therapist and the doctor at a and e wnated me to discuss going on anti depressants,seen the doctor today told him everything thats been going on especially the worsening of my vision which is looking like im looking through broken glass in both eyes.he said if i had a brain tumour my bloods would of been elevated and i would have numbness on one side of the body,he did say he couldnt rule out MS i would have to have an mri scan,he said hes not a neurologist but if he had to diagnose me he would say it was stress and anxiety.he wants me to go on sertraline? But i have to discuss with my opthamologist on tuesday if this would be ok as i gave recently had a cornea transplant and it might effect it. Has anyone on here had visual problems that have lasted 2 weeks with stress? I think im going to pay for an mri scan myself to get this sorted one way or another

I had an MRI once because things couldn't be ruled out, but all was clear and pesky anxiety was the culprit.

Up to you in the end, but that's mighty expensive, and the doctor has already said his educated opinion is probably anxiety.

I know nothing about this or how they work , but it seems a big coincidence you had a recent cornea transplant and now vision problems. Definitely no connection?

Potter86
18-01-18, 20:50
No connection as i only had it in the left eye and these visual disturbances are in both eyes,my cornea surgeon and retina specialist have both checked the eyes and they cant find the problem which is more worrying

Just a thought. I didn't know if it would cause any issues, though I'd imagine a cornea transplant isn't a stress-free event, and it may explain why your anxiety is heading eyewards.

Anxiety anxiety anxiety.....

I posted a thread yesterday but feel i need to put it on this thread...if it isnt one symptom its another i had a better week last week the tremors that were constant had died down and i felt ok,then all of a sudden bang crashing down to earth with visual problems i have had these for about a month now but feel its worse this week....i can see thousands of black dots i my vision especially when lookin at white walls and feels like light is flickering constantly.the weirdest thing is at night i can literally see thousands of what look like black cells moving everywhere even if i dont move my eyes???has anyone ever heard of this? I cant find nothing online about it and ivehad my eyes checked by numerous specialists who cant find the problem...which panics me its my head thats causing it.can this be stress as there constant? Im going to see my gp monday about a private mri scan which im willing to pay for and to go on sertraline.one good week i felt 100 times better only to be reminded that anxiety is still there.

Potter86
14-02-18, 14:11
So i am absoluley convinced now that i have a brain tumour,head tremor,the wierdest symptom is the vision in BOTH eyes,i am seeing litereally million of black dots moving around like cells you would see under a microscope and when i look at a white wall they are more apparent(these are not floaters) like ive said ive seen numerous eye doctors and none of them can find anything wrong and when i saw the optician the otherday i mentioned it to him and hed never heard of it!!! The vision is also fuzzy and look like the light is flickering,ive also got pressure in both ears,i took sertraline for 3 days and thi made me constantly sick and my legs have started to feel weak and fuzzy(i dont know of this is the sertraline or what).i really dont know what to do i went a n e yesterday and he basically fobbed me off saying its stress.these eye problems are not stress 100% and if there isnt anything up with the eyes it must be the brain!!!my doctor has orderd me an mri but could take a while!!im convinced this is a brain tumour and im scared out my mind and no one seems to be listening!!

Can I just say I’m in the same position I have been to see doctors saw eye specialist at hospital had numerous eye tests and the anxiety is just getting worse. Had blood tests for inflammation as well as full blood count and apart from low iron everything was fine. I’ve been like it for two years and just recently had a few bouts of illness with antibiotics and it’s gotten worse as has my anxiety and depression. I went back to doctors Monday and begged for a neurologist appointment waiting on that now. Terrified it’s something serious! Had flicking jumping vision sensitivity to lights flashes when looking left to right sparkly stars feeling dizzy and tired only just started to get tension in my head and trailing vision. Two years on I’m beside myself and told the doctor the anxiety is making me worse!

14-02-18, 16:16
The only reassurance I can give myself and you is that I knew someone with a brain tumour and although benign it didn’t show any symptoms until he just started throwing up one day violently and then had seizures. The doctor told me the eye specialist at the opticians pick up anything like that first before they cause a problem. So if we have had eye tests and nothing found then he is not concerned. Also been going on two years in my case so he’s just not concerned but I’ve demanded the neurologist appointment! The symptoms that we are experiencing are not nice but long term stress and anxiety can almost certainly be the culprit! I’ve read so much on it and other peoples experiences that they have suffered the same!

Sorry to hear your going through it,i also hsd bloods checked for imflamation markers ehich were all perfect and the doctor said if i hsd a tumour therr would be a rise in them but i just find it hard to think its all stress related,i like you have begged for a neuro appointment and i have one in april.i would agree it was stress but i just cant see seeing millions of black dots in both eyes constantly being just stress,the opthamologists look at me as if im nuts but there is certainly something going on.sll the best to you

I understand because the feelings are horrible and the symptoms are scary but it’s very strange we both feel the same and are anxious/beside ourselves with worry. Just woken up now with a vibrating\shaking and it was a particularly bad day for me yesterday with regard to anxiety and stress so I’m going to start keeping a diary and see if the symptoms get worse when I’ve been more stressed because I definitely know yesterday was one of those days. Best of luck to you too and if I see a neurologist before you I’ll update and let you know how I got on.

Is it possible you've just become aware of the Blue Field Entoptic Phenomenon? In that case, what you're seeing is white blood cells moving through the retinal vasculature. Entirely normal.

Hi no i have read up on that and dont think its that,its like millions of black cells clumped together then dispersing there seperate ways it is really weird it is in both eyes if i kook at a white wall i can see millions of them,my vision has also gone fuzzy and feel like theres a constant light flickering in my visioin.also both ears are blocked and i think this is causin my head to tremor.im at a loss i really dont know what to do i have seen countless doctors countless opthamologists all have said nothing but stress and anxiety and cant find a problem with ny eyes.im waiting on an mri scan and have a neuro appointment in april but i feel its getting worse each day and im totally convinced i have a tumour especially with these visual problems in both eyes

Hello mate hope your well,i do have other symptoms,constant twitching in left hand with finger jerks,tremor in head,dizziness and weakness in legs and sickness(althought that only started when i took sertraline).im pretty sure brain tumours can affect both eyes if anyone has ever heard of millions of cell like dots in vision with blurryness and light flickering id like to hear it,it literally looks like theres millions of bugs in my field vision it IS WEIRD.I cant see anything else other than a tumour causing this

Tumours aren't shrinking violets.

You're really poorly if you have a brain tumour. Like shocking headaches, seizures, CONSTANT nausea and vomiting.

You don't have these.

You don't have a brain tumour. This will take time but you will realise it soon.

Stop reading rubbish then?

Brain tumours cause Epilepsy! You know what epilepsy is, and what it does? Causes people to have a variety of types of seizures and stops you from being allowed to drive etc.

The finger twitches are anxiety muscle twitches, and almost certainly the same goes for your head.

Also, you've been feeling like this for at least 4 months but I'm sure its longer. Do you think after 4 months of a Brain Tumour growing, you'd be really ill now? We know the answer is yes.

Update just had my MRI results,no brain tumour and no MS,everything was fine apart from some inflamation in one of the ears which is probably causing the dizziness snd the tremors so ive been told to get some nasal spray and book into see my gp so she can check in the ears.

So after months and months of worrying i had a serious illness i dont i have something minor.i am relieved to say the least

Hi I get the internal trembling. Not all the time, but I do get it & it’s not visible to anyone but I definitely feel it especially when under additional anxiety & stress. It feels almost like a jackhammer in my body.

Glad to see that you are ok Potter.

I am 48 years of age with oestrogen levels dropping. I am perimenopausal so have many symptoms as a result. Anxiety and stress are quite high up on the list of ailments and I am currently experiencing a buzzing sensation particularly in my right arm and my feet. I have a feeling of being unsure on my feet and a general weakness in my body. In November my wrists, shoulders and upper right arm, as well as my fingers, became slightly inflamed and my gp put me on anti-inflammatories for 10 days. By the end of the 10 days I felt so much better and moved on from the experience.

Sadly I have a return of some of the symptoms again and my health anxiety has kicked in. I am worried about the usual things such as MS, parkinsons etc.. I am desperatley trying to convince myself that its a stress and anxiety related and possibly perimenopausal related too.

Any ladies online have similar experiences?

I have been having this every morning for the past week! I wake up and my body feels like it's trembling inside and it feels like my heart is going very fast. When I check my pulse, it feels a bit fast, but the trembling lasts until i can really conciously try to calm down (deep breathing, klonopin, meditation, etc.)

The tremors imo was anxiety all along and not the inflamation causing it.

Had very similar symptoms stemming from stress that started in June (finally starting to get better and my symptoms are reducing/disappearing)

Had an eyelid twitch for 5 months along with jerks/twitches everywhere else in my body. I started taking Magnesium and B-Complex (B12) as per doctor and things improved. I'd ask your doctor about it. B12 is good for the nervous system.

Best wishes

You have literally described me. How weird.

Hi ladies and gents, it’s been a while since I have been in here. Really was trying to focus on my anxiety and being positive but I’ve had a relapse. I went to see a neurologist which I paid privately for and I was diagnosed with visual snow syndromes I am due to see an nhs neurologist for a scan at the end of this month but was suffering from internal tremors for sometime. I started to take a multivitamin everyday and this seemed to help but then I didn’t take it for about a week and now I’ve had a bout of diarrhoea shakes jerks twitching in my eye tingling and twitching over my body and face too. I was also getting an area of cold feeling above my lip last week too. Last night I spoke to 111 as had involuntary jerks but when I was waiting to speak to the doctor they slowed down and went after I took some neurofen and sipped some water. The doctor said it’s orobably a reaction to a virus and temperature. I’ve been under some stress recently but everywhere I read it says MS Brain Tumour and I’m petrified. Can anyone explain whether they have had the same thing?

Hey, glad you got the all clear on anything serious. I’m in a bad place with similar symptoms at the min. Mainly twitching all over my body now but mainly in the right hand side. All day every day. I also get the body jerks, swallowing issues, and the clicking on the ear, only in my right ear. Like you I’m totally convinced that I have a neurological problem. I have an EMG at the end of this month. I’m terrified. Anyway just thought I’d post in your thread because I’ve had similar issues. Hoping I get the all clear like you.

Im back again unfortunatly...after having a good 2 or 3 months which i lost all the weight id put on through the stress last year and feeling really good in myself i feel im reverting back,all my symptoms had vritually cleared up apart from the visual snow ehich i started to cope with,i had an mri scan which showed abit of imflamation in the right ear,the doctor checked my ear but couldnt see the drum as it had alot of wax,2 weeks ago i had my ears syringed and the nurse said iy was abit red but was probably due to the cleaning.i cant see my doctor for 2 weeks as shes on holiday but i have started to have alot of pressure in both ears and i have had a constant ringing for 5 days solid now which is driving me mad,i feel i have rubbish on my throat alot laltley also.does anyone know what this might be?feels like my ear drums are about to explode and the tinnitus is annoying to say the least
