Stress shaking

[Mytical]

Was driving today (and honestly with my concentration issues and nerve damage I really shouldn't be doing). Started shaking violently, had to pull over and let my cousin take over driving. Thought my blood sugar had ran rampant, but it tested 'ok' (Not great, but not horrible).. just stress.

That is a real thing and ones of those things that have to be worked through. One with someone to talk it through and two with slow takings on the car till you can do it without shaking.

See your doctor if it happens again. You may need further workup.

Stress can do really weird things to the body, but, of course, there can always be something else going on.

Shaking/tremors can also be a sign of having a panic attack. I second the recommendation to see your doctor or, if possible, a counselor.

I third the recommendation. I have type 2 diabetes, well controlled, except for "mystery episodes" of severe nausea and dizziness. It felt like my heart was trying to beat its way out of my chest. Come to find out, they were glucose crashes - the worst was 23 mg/dl. My doctor said I should have been in a coma. (We still don't know why, but I now carry glucose tabs everywhere!)

Then I went to the ER for a concussion - and they found out I was in a-fib (atrial fibrillation). Now I'm on blood thinners to prevent a stroke; "they" estimate that at least 20% of strokes are caused by a-fib. Maybe more, because if you have "paroxysmal" (that is, occasional) a-fib you may not know it. Based on my symptoms, the cardiologist thinks I've had it at least 15 years. (And 3 moths before I hit my head, I had had a full cardio workup, and it didn't show up.

So that's another reason to go see your doctor, please. We would all miss you terribly if something bad happened. Not to mention Marmalady! Get your Black Dragon butt* to the doctor!
