If the whole body shakes ...

Many of us are able to control emotions and actions. And that is really good. But what to do if such strange, sometimes inexplicable symptoms come, in which we cannot control the condition, and a misunderstanding of the cause of what is happening with us is terrifying and panic? For example, when the whole body shakes. Let's try to figure out why this happens and what to do in this case.

Firstly, if the body shakes, then this is our bodyโ€™s cry for help. After all, the "abnormal" state is a deviation, it is a failure. And the reasons must be sought. Mandatory.

There can be several reasons for the whole body shaking. Firstly, an increase in temperature due to a disease (this is both a virus and postoperative conditions). In other words, you are shivering. In this case, it is necessary to reduce the temperature (if it is not lower than 38 degrees) and switch to a course of treatment using antibiotics (if the symptoms do not go away for more than five days and only after consulting a doctor).

Long-term treatment with the use of some addictive drugs can also cause the whole body to shake. Sometimes itโ€™s enough to wait a few days, and sometimes the help of your doctor who prescribed these drugs is needed (unless, of course, you were self-medicating).

Today it is no secret to anyone that an impressive portion of drugs is addictive. Actually, this is used by certain segments of the population. And that is why some of these funds are not available for sale today. A person who is "addicted" to such a drug (names are not intentionally mentioned), if he wants to drastically reduce his consumption or abandon it altogether, experiences the same symptoms: his body shakes, convulsions appear, bouts of unreasonable fear, phobia ...

But the most likely cause is stress. This is how our body reacts to extreme, difficult to resolve or threatening situations. The adrenaline rush is what causes the whole body to shake. For the body, stress is an anomaly. And if for someone an additional "dose" of adrenaline does not cause malfunctions in the body and is even sometimes necessary (extreme sports, for example), then for some, especially sensitive and susceptible, this factor can become a threat to health in general.

If stress is the cause of the whole body shaking, you need to look for a destructive source. Maybe something went wrong at work, or there were problems in the family, or you moved to new housing, or financial problems. For people with high self-esteem, self-critical, with well-established life values, even a word given earlier and not restrained afterwards can cause severe stress.

The main signs of a stress state are uncontrolled (and sometimes unreasonable) anxiety, trembling in the body, irritability, constant feeling of fatigue, impatience, sleep disturbance, inability to concentrate, chest pain, respiratory failure (up to suffocation), fever, tingling (or numbness in the limbs).

The solution, of course, exists: consultation with a specialist. First, a therapist, and then, possibly, a psychiatrist. And there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. It's about your health and (very likely) life.

Perhaps drugs (sedatives) or tranquilizers will be prescribed. At this time, alcohol, caffeine, drugs containing narcotic substances are contraindicated (they will only aggravate the situation).

Be prepared for the fact that before any effect occurs, time will pass. And even after significant improvements, do not give up treatment if the course is not over. The only โ€œbutโ€ can be a worsening or side effect. And even in this case, consultation with your doctor is mandatory.
