basically, for a while now I've had a really restless leg. Constantly I have to be tapping it and most of the time I don't realise I'm doing it and when I try to stop doing it, it becomes really uncomfortable, like a dull ache throughout my leg. In situations where i'm very stressed, specifically when I'm trying to prolong a panic attack, I find my leg tapping so visiously that my muscles ache so badly but still I cannot stop.

Just wondering does anyone else get this? a few people have suggested to me it may be restless leg syndrome (shocked that was an actual condition) but I'm convinced it could be down to anxiety because it definately escalates the more anxious i get

Well based on what you say about it worsening during panic attacks, then I'd say yeah it could be something that's a symptom for you. but personally i get restless legs at random times, i'm pretty sure it's not related to my anxiety.
