Yeah I get a tingly feeling in my leg, vibrations in my foot, muscle twitches, burning sensation, all of these in my legs that’s where most of my physical symptoms of anxiety happen. I just accept as I’ve messed my nerves up with anxiety and they don’t know what to do and just need to accept it, funny thing is when I get drunk they all disappear so proves more it’s just anxiety to me. I also get that tingly feeling in my chest which is weird.

Thanks for this post! I have the tingling leg thing, too! I'd love to try alcohol to see if it would go away, but there are too many alcoholics in my family so I won't take a drink for fear of overdoing it. I'm glad you found something that gives you relief!

Sounds like Restless Leg Syndrome which I get just before the aura leading to a seizure & immediately afterwards.

I'm sorry that you have seizures. I haven't had one, but sometimes I feel like one is going to occur when my whole body is vibrating and my foot is hot and tingling.

Yes! I have the same sensation! It's only in my right leg and foot, though. The left side is fine! Anxiety is the strangest experience ever! I have anxiety symptoms almost constantly now. The tingling in the leg and foot is bizarre! Sometimes the right side of my face tingles, too! I'm sorry you are having these symptoms! I hope you are able to find relief!

Yeah its very wierd..like you said anxiety comes with the most wierdest and scary symptoms..if its not one thing its another..one day or a couple days you could experience certain symptoms and next couple of days those symptoms will dimish but are replaced by other symptoms-_-

So true! My list of symptoms is a mile long! Thankfully. I don't have all of them at the same time! For the past few weeks I've had loud ear ringing and vibrating body with burning and stinging in my right foot. This comes on every night as soon as I lie down in bed, making sleep nearly impossible! Very odd!

I get this as well but just on my left leg. I'm so glad you posted this.. well not glad because you're feeling this way but I truly thought I was the only way it's mostly on my feet and calves though but I also get a weak sensation in legs. To be honest I'm fearing that it's MS but I'm going to the doctors tomorrow. Anxious!
