this may sound starange but if i've been swimming for a long time and then rap a towel around me to keep warm i contiuniously shake its not because iam cold once i got strapped onto a spinal board for a training secssion i was continiously shaking iam not epileptic cold or nervous i couldnt stop shaking in sometimes do it for no reason and without meaning to anyone else have this problem? hopefully it doesbr sound strange

It doesn't sound weird. I tend to get shaky if I'm over tired or haven't eaten for a more than a few hours.

[Alex]

i shake constantly when iam doing somthing its not a fit its like a 1 second thing like your mentioned but sometimes it can happen more than 3 times a day

I jiggle. I'm sort of comfortable just keeping moving. Ao my legs are always bouncing, keepng my heels off the ground. I'm forever being told - because vibrations travel - 'stop it' but I don't eve realise I'm doing it. (well I do, I just mean it's comfortable so I don't if you follow...)

[Alex]

yeah i sort of get you

[MarkFl]

i get a sort of shake as if i'm cold for like a sec 1 second after i pis5

This is completely normal and reasonably common. It's not entirely understood why it happens but the phenomenon is referred to as Post-micturition convulsion syndrome by medical personnel and as "pee"-shivers in casual conversation, I think roughly 80% of males and 60% of females report having experienced it, myself included.

So yeah, don't worry about it, nothing wrong with you in that regard unless you also feel faint and lightheaded afterwards, in which case you might want to see your doctor as this can lead to the embarrasing situation of you passing out with your trousers undone.

I dont feel faint afterwards i understand what you say through i was strapped to a spianal board as part of my NPLQ assessment (National Pool Lifeguarding Qulification) and the examiner thought i was hypothermic i explained too her i do this all the time but i do not feel faint or lightheaded

The shaking after swimming is caused by the muscles working hard during the excercise, synaptic transission is occuring to get your muscles moving. Once you have stopped swimming things take a few moments for your body return to normal... hence the shaking... basicially muscle spasms....

[Alex]

i have to say i had staff training last night and passed the pool test for the first time kept failing on timed swim i got out the pool after 2 and half hours of training and didnt shake once it might be the tempriture of the pool or somthing else like you say it could possibly be spasums

[Alex]

i sometimes shake without warning i cant control it and dont know when iam going to shake next its not because of iam cold its sometimes just comes without warning

It would be interesting to know if there's been research done into shaking of various sorts with dyspraxia. I'm sure I'm more prone to this than most and can be due to diet, temperature, exercise. Being startled can also make me shake, and anecdotally it seems to last longer and be more pronounced than in others.

[Alex]

every time i go for a swim i just constantly shake even when i have a towel around me i understand its obviously the cold and i dont know weather my mucsles go into spazam

I have experience of a severe tremor in teens and twenties which has diminished since. Was the biggest feature of troubles.

[Alex]

its like when iam doing me lifeguard training and i get strapped on spinal board and i start to shake the instuctor thought i was having a fit but i assured her i do it all the time it was not a fit
