Whenever I don't get much sleep, I feel like I am shaking! Posted: 09-12-07 12:34pm
Hello,
I am too scared to go see a doctor about
this, and my mom is telling me it is
nothing, but I am not convinced. Whenever
I don't get much sleep, I feel like I am
shaking a little bit whenever I perform
certain actions. It isn't significant
shaking, as it is hard to see, but it is
there. I feel it. It happens when I do
certain gestures with my hands. This
shaking happens when I do certain actions
that require close attention to detail.
Sometimes I feel it in my head too, and in
other parts of my body.
Also, and I am not sure if this is
related, but I've had trouble going to the
bathroom. This has always been a problem
for me, but now it hurts sometimes when I
pee. Sometimes I pee too much too. Also,
whenever I try to go to the bathroom, I
feel a pain in my upper abdomen.
Could these instances be related? Any help
is appreciated. I'm really scared! So try
to be positive, haha.

Hi Sweetie! Me Fairy*godmother Posted: 09-12-07 12:45pm
Not sure how old you are, but could you
not go to a family physican by yourself?
If you were my daughter and really felt
something was not right, I'd take you in a
minute. You could very well have a bladder
or kidney infection or something minor,
but the two things together the "shaking"
and bathroom details doesn't sound to me
like its connected. I am not a doctor, but
I'd beg my parents to find me someone to
talk to about it.

Thanks. The shaking is weird though. It is
very hard to perceive, and is only
noticeable even to myself when I am
performing really odd movements with my
hands or tilting my head in some really
weird way. Is that at all normal?
Btw, I am only 20.. I'm too young to die!

oh, and my mom is a nurse.. she thinks the
shaking has to do with not sleeping right.
But I did sleep right for about a week and
I still felt the shaking. Today I feel it,
but I only slept 4 hours last night (and 4
the night before).. meh.. college is rough

You are not dying. Although having death
anxiety is very common at your age.
If that is your only symptom, your mom is
probably right.

You know what....your not going to die!
So new subject...
I know EXACTLY what you are talking about!
I get it also. Are you taking any
medication? Because when i start a new bc
i get like that if i get up in the middle
of the night, or right before i got to
bed. Not saying that only bc will do that
to you. Taking any medication on an empty
stomach can usually cause these symptoms
too! I haven't thought anything of it
myself....but if your having a hard time
with this....go see a dr. They can always
explain or help you understand whats going
on. Hope you get that solved...GOOD LUCK!

Hi Posted: 09-12-07 13:07pm
You're not gonna die..............my
Mother is a nurse too, cept I took her
license this past year so that she will
retire.....she's 71 now! BUt, you know
your body better than anyone. Not trying
to be disrespectful, but if yo ufeel
soemthing is not right, then you should
have it looked into. I'd want to know what
this was in case if should develop into
something else..........not saying it will
but why take a chance? Uncontrollable
shaking is a neurological thing. Its not
caused from not gettting enough sleep...I
am not in the medical profession, but I do
know that. Not getting enough selep makes
one groggy and lethargic, not shakey or
light headed. I ma proud you are in
school....... Feel
free to PM if you'd like!
