- Internal vibrations can feel like a buzzing, vibrating, shaking or quivering; some women describe the sensation as feeling like a phone or bees are buzzing inside them.
- Although internal tremors can be associated with perimenopause and menopause, they are not a commonly recognised symptom; the underlying mechanism is not fully understood.
- Hormone receptors for estradiol, progesterone and testosterone are found in cells throughout the body, and these hormones are important for nerve function , hormonal fluctuations could cause the sensation of internal tremor.
- Women and health professionals often worry these are caused by a neurological problem, and women frequently undergo extensive investigations without a neurological diagnosis.
- Other potential causes to rule out include low iron, vitamin B12 or vitamin D deficiencies, and diabetes; speak to your doctor if you experience internal tremors.
