Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
You have mentioned that 'you have this vibrating feeling in left side of your body'.Please tell on which body parts on left side,it occurs?Does it occur on whole left side including head,face,chest,abdomen,upper limb and lower limb?or,is it restricted to specific body part like face,trunk,upper limb or just lower limb?
Though,this is not a symptom to be concerned for and is most likely a psychosomatic symptom/a manifestation of anxiety.But,I would like to know the above details,in order to answer this well further.
Waiting for your follow-up.

Brief Answer:
Psychosomatic/Anxiety.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
Thanks for being in follow-up and providing further details.
With this clinical background,the symptoms do not localize to any organic pathology and are probably related to anxiety.These symptoms can better be termed as psychosomatic.
Please start doing regular mental relaxation exercises like meditation/yoga and you will show improvement.A Psychiatrist's opinion may be of value here.
Hope that I have answered your query.If you have some follow up questions,I shall be glad to answer else please close the thread,rate it and write a review as your rating will be of help to me.
