Hi
I had the same episode last night and I believe it is anxiety/panic attatck as my whole body was shaking but mine happened in the night and woke me up. Its real scary but it does go. Its all part of the anxiety and panic attatck.

Hope this helps, I am quite new to this website.

You need to talk to someone about it, that makes me feel better.

Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Butch

Exactly the same happened to me when my anxiety was acute, all I wanted to do after was sleep, it's really scary I know but it will have been due to the build up of adrenaline in your body.
Hope this helps

Hi

Yes, everything you describe is anxiety/panic related.
