Avatar universal internal tremor and palpitations

I'm 32 years old, I've been experiencing these symptoms are happening from 20 days.
I've been having problems at night when I lay down to sleep. Sometimes my body starts to feel shaky on the inside. It's hard to explain to doctors when they ask. I'm not physically shaking to the point where you could see it, I just feel shaky or trembling internally. I also am sensitive to palpitations, which I also feel during these night tremors. When this happens to me, I cannot fall asleep. I get scared that something is seriously wrong and it's an uncomfortable feeling so it keeps me awake for hours while laying in bed. I have gone to multiple doctors, even a heart specialist. Everything is coming out normal, I don't have anxiety though they all suggest that's where the tremor comes from. But I have nothing to be anxious about, I like my life, the only thing that worries me is my weird health problems. I've worn a heart monitor for 24 hours to catch any serious heart skipping, but the monitor came back normal. Though when I was wearing the monitor I did not experience my palpitations or tremor. They both happen on random nights and recently they've been happening during the day. I've had two episodes where I felt so weak and ill that I almost passed out, and those symptoms also came out of no where and went away on their own.  I also feel like I am breathing heavily, taking deep breaths rather than normal ones. Doctors never addressed the faint feeling as being related to palpitations. Basically I'm wondering if anyone has gotten results for such symptoms because I read many stories online that look similar to mine and the end result is that there are no answers. It can't possibly be normal. I just want answers before something serious happens that could have been prevented. I'm also wondering what else I should get checked out besides my heart since they didn't find anything, possibly lungs ,liver or heart?

You may have POTS Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.  I have it and the symptoms appear when they please.  It leaves you very tired.  Try increasing your salt intake a bit and drink 8-10 bottles of water daily. Also try Magnesium Oxide 400 once in the a.m. and once in the p.m. the only side effect is loose stool if this happens just lower your dosage.  The tremors or twitches or cramps can be sign of low magnesium this is hard to detect in routine blood work because only one percent is in the bloodstream.  I wore the 30 day heart monitor twice and have seen 4 heart specialist.  This can be worrisome and may your symptoms worse.  Try breathing in through your nose while counting to ten then out through your mouth while counting to ten this helps to bring down your heart rate.  If your having palpitations it can cause heavy breathing because it lowers your oxygen levels just try to remain calm and do this breathing exercise also drink plenty of water during your spells and you may want to keep a journal about your spells and symptoms make sure to list your surroundings for example open space, confined space, driving, waiting in line at the grocery store, smells like perfume, etc.  Were you stressed during these events and if you are stressed are your spells more frequent.  This will help you look into it further and may help you identify some things.  I wish you the best of luck.
