Is this anxiety?

Hello to all of you
I have been having really bad shakes/jitters in my legs. They seem to worse in the mornings. I can be sitting or standing (but worse when I am sitting) and my legs jump and jerk. So annoying. Just wondered if anyone has had this. I want to keep telling my self it is just increased anxiety but you know the mind.......
Appreciate your thoughts

I get jitters alot, sometimes my legs with spasm for no particular reason and it kinda freaks me out! I used to think it was something far more serious but i think its quite common with anxiety.
I've found mindfulness to really help, to actively check in with your body and do a body scan. Tightening the muscles and then relaxing them and knowing they are there.
I used to get pretty bad mornng anxiety, including my hands shaking and trembling. I think its directly related with the nervous system and your bodys response to fight or flight. I'd recommend some yoga, mindfulness and meditation if you haven't tried any already. I've found them really useful in helping with this.
Hope some of that helped and hope you have a great day

I have had many many months of stomach disorders and after having endosope and abdominal ultra sound nothing really major showed up. Probiotics have helped. Then it was the palpitations.....
and the leg jerking.......and all the other crazy symptoms that are to numerous to list. In February I started having rapid heartrate that was confirmed on ecg that I have SVT. So, I am now having an ablation May 31/16 as the side affects with beta blockers is terrible. So I guess I have alot on my plate right now. The anxious crazy stuff going on did start before the SVT but it certainly got worse.
I appreciate your lovely reply. Nice to see there are caring prople out there. By the way I am in Canada.
Many thanks
