Brain shaking? Please read I’m panicking

[Nicole0814]

Hi! So I had this weird thing just happened a little bit ago. I was sitting at my desk and I was on the phone with someone not anxious at all but all of a sudden it felt like my brain was shaking and I grabbed the desk because I started to panic. That’s the best way to describe it is my brain shaking or yeah I think that’s the best way. It only lasted for a few seconds. I know I hear a lot about brain zaps but it wasn’t like an electrical feeling. Well I of course freak out thinking oh no what if it was a seizure what if I’m having a seizure all of those thoughts. Now I will say that a while back I had a few occurrences where something similar happened where my brain felt weird like I was trying to hold back the brain shaking or a seizure which sounds ridiculous. But this one was worse and it just was a little different I don’t know. I know it sounds crazy but anyone else ever experience anything similar? I go to my primary care doctor in September so I will mention it to him but just wanted to see if you all had experienced anything like this. I guess brain shaking or vibrating would be the best ways to explain it

I am not sure if you are on anxiety meds, but either way with anxiety and meds combined I have had a lot of very unexplainable feelings in my head.

I am only on Xanax for panic attacks

It's so weird to me how we take every symptom and totally freak out over them. My husband, for example, has all kinds of weird symptoms that would put me in a panic for weeks, but moments after he has them he has moved on to doing something else without a second thought. Like he will say "wow, I just got super dizzy," and then a minute later he's talking about something else. I so wish I could be like that! I think everyone has things happening all the time but not everyone makes a big deal out of them. My 80 year old MIL has stage 4 cancer and going through treatment and she still gets out and has people over and has a better quality of life than I do. It's just so weird to me.

I agree! My mother tells me all the time “ I feel stuff all the time and have weird things but I just don’t worry about them I just keep going on about my day“ And I’m just like I wish I could do that that’s what I want to do. But the brain shaking I think would make anyone may be a little concerned I don’t know maybe not? But I just felt really scary and weird and I didn’t know if anyone else had dealt with brain vibration/shaking

I don't think I have ever had that - a ton of other strange sensations, but I don't remember brain vibration. Could it be a medication you are on? I think anxiety causes all kinds of things, and they feel scary and not normal, but they are probably not dangerous. My mom had anxiety her whole life and I remember her always saying if it's not one thing it's another! I didn't really get it then but now that my anxiety is worse I totally get it. She lived to be 86 so none of her symptoms were life threatening, but I know they felt scary to her at the time. Hopefully it was just something that you won't have again, but even if you do try to remember it's more than likely anxiety.

I’ve been on the same medications for years. It’s just so weird and scary. I was so scared it was a seizure

Yeah I get it - that's scary.

My best friend suffers from anxiety and she has gotten this multiple times. She literally explained it to me the exact way you did - like someone shook her brain

I’ve had where I feel like a buzzing feeling in my head and then I feel like I’m going to pass out. Idk if the buzzing and your brain shaking are the same. I’ve been scared of the same thing but doctors always said I’m fine.

I use to suffer from chronic anxiety I had chronic headaches, trouble sleeping, shaking, numbness, stomach pain and more but not that. I wasn't on meds through as I preferred to heal naturally. It probably just is anxiety but if you are concerned I would speak to a doctor about it. Is anyone supporting you with your anxiety.
