A member asked:

When waking up from sleep feel shaky or jittery on inside of body! goes away after i get up. doesn't happen every day. could it be from anxiety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Jittery in the AM: Felling "jittery" in the morning may be anxiety, just due to the transition from sleeping to wakefulness or changes in blood pressure. I suggest bringing this symptom to the attention of your physician.
