My shunt vibrates when i sleep and it wakes me up. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vibraion: Typically vibration comes from the narrowing of the lumen of an object. For example children get croup because there are inflammatory changes to there vocal chords which narrow the lumen of the trachea. Seems like your shunt is likely getting pressure on it.
