I feel like I'm shaking/seizing, but I'm not physically moving.

This has been happening for as long as I can remember... Sometimes when I'm in bed at night, my hands will start getting tingly/warm. Then, if I'm really still, it'll move throughout my whole body and it'll feel like I'm shaking and moving back and forth. But when I watch myself do it, I'm perfectly still. And sometimes, if I concentrate on my hands, I can make it happen by will. It's not painful, but it worries me. Thanks!

That is unusual. It does not sound like a seizure to me, but if it worries you I would discuss your concerns with your doctor. My best guess is this is nothing to be worried about.

Best of luck!

It could be a mild presentation of sleep paralysis. Everyone experiences something similar as they fall asleep, but some people are more sensitive than others.

Perhaps you and your physicians have come to an understanding -- these symptoms are consistent with nerve irritations - hands and arms and legs can exhibit these symptoms from compression - - I recommend a wellness check up - including complete physical exam, complete blood testing including B12 and thyroid hormone levels. A Physiatrist may be able to put you through maneuvers which reproduce your symptoms.
