As you already know, going to HMC is not a good idea. We go to Al Ahli and are very happy with our care their. while living in Singapore, I had an MRI done when they thought there was and issue with my spine, because of horrible headaches, and numbness and tingling in left leg and toes. I was seen by a neurologist first though and he advised what to look for. If by vibrating body you mean- she is feeling muscles twitch, most definately she needs to be seen as soon as possible and also have further testing. Thing is-sometimes they will advise physical therapy and in fact it can be beneficial. She may be experiencing strees, which makes the body do many unexplainable things or perhaps she is having migraine headaches which can be so terribly uncomfortable and really can stop daily routines from taking place. Everything hurts and her energy levels will be low.

Best advice I can give is just keep trying to find out what the problem is and how best to solve it. Being in pain every day is not necessary and I have finally suffered long enough to realize that there is a legitimate reason(s) for it and most times, it can be helped.

Good luck in your search.

Hello,

As other people already suggested you to visit a Neurologist, I think you should visit a neurologist immediately . Although I am not a medical professional, but I know that MRI scans are better than CT scans. I think, if you just do a MRI, it will not be that helpful. Normally a neurologist tells the Radiologist what to look for. So Radiologist puts extra attention on that area.

You also mention about "Body Vibrates", did you mean about Seizure? If that's the case definitely you should see a neurologist. I do not want to make you scared, but headache can be sign of so many things -- Hydrocephalus, Brain tumor, etc. From my experience, I have found out that brain is the most complicated thing in a human body.

Good luck.

First of all try to see Neurologist first then follow his advise.

For additional info.;MR imaging of the body is performed to evaluate:

Organs of the chest, abdomen and pelvis—including the heart, liver, biliary tract, kidney, spleen, and pancreas and adrenal glands.

pelvic organs including the reproductive organs in the male (prostate and testicles) and the female (uterus, cervix and ovaries).

And for the Head, I think CT-Scan will be the best.
