Hello
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
It all sounds like you have an episode of anxiety following the neurological problem. Heart rate of 92 is still normal and can occur due to anxiety. A feeling of increased force of heart beat can also occur in anxiety. Please relax. You dont have chest pain or breathlessness.
An ecg and 2d echo is required and it should help us reassure you.
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards
Dr Vivek Mahajan

Well, that's reassuring. When I try to relax (lie still, try to meditate) I get these waves of body vibrations, tremors and chills from the neurological symptoms that make it impossible to relax. I have to get up and walk around to alleviate those symptoms - they are still there but when I walk around I don't notice them as much. I use to be able to meditate to relax very easilty but now it doesn't work becasue the neurological symptoms get in the way. I'll lie down and not feel the vibrations at first but when I start meditating (or after just lying down for 5 minutes) they get really, really intense with chills and tremors too sometimes. Also, the tinnitus is really loud so it's hard to meditate with with my whole body - especially my ears - ringing and vibrating. I did get up around 1 AM this morning and had a somewhat high (for me, but not abnormal) BP but my pulse was 75 with no abnormal beats detected so maybe you are right about the anxiety. I will have the ECG tomorrow and will then write you back with the results. My doctors have prescribed several benzos for my symptoms but after trying them for a while I quit and said "no more benzos!"
Hello
It still sounds like anxiety. When you are busy in activities your mind may be diverted and so those symptoms may be prominent when you rest and are idle to think about it. Still objectives loke ecg and echo may be done to say woth surety there isn't any organic cardiac pathology.
