A member asked:

What would cause a person to wake with internal jitters. feels like brain, eyes and abdomen are involved. goes away shortly after waking.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Jitters: I'm not sure what you mean by "internal jitters". Given the specific timing and transience of your symptoms, I suspect psychological basis such as an anxiety disorder. Please discuss with your doctor for a full physical and possible referral to a mental health professional for further evaluation.
