I (24F) have been experiencing brain shivers this past two days. When I’ve come off of anxiety medication, it’s the same feeling as what I’m experiencing now except I’m consistently taking my prescribed anxiety medication. 

I have POTS syndrome and this week, I’ve been experiencing dizziness but I attributed to that to POTS symptoms coming back. But today and yesterday, I’ve been getting brain shivers. I know some people say they feel electric volts but mine feel like my brain shivers and it happens especially when I move around.  From my research, I see that brain shivers can be caused by anxiety.

I guess I’m just super anxious because I’ve never had brain shivers before while taking my medications, only when I’m NOT taking my medications. So I’m worried and my anxiety isn’t helping me calm down. 

Does anyone else experience this with their anxiety and/or what do you do to help you through it?
