Might be restless legs syndrome, neurological therapy available
Detailed Answer:
Dear Patient,
this can be a neurological condition called restless legs syndrome. Neurological therapy is available, usually the treatment is as follows:
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. In addition, review all medications you are taking with your doctor to determine if any of these drugs could be causing the problem.
Any underlying medical conditions, for example anemia, diabetes, nutritional deficiencies, kidney disease, thyroid disease, varicose veins, or Parkinson's disease, should be tested for and treated. An EEG should be done too. For some people, these treatments are all that is needed to relieve RLS symptoms.
You may also benefit from physical therapy and self-care treatments, like stretching, taking hot or cold baths or whirlpool baths, applying hot or cold packs to the affected area, limb massage, or vibratory or electrical stimulation of the feet and toes before bedtime.
Exercise and relaxation techniques also give you relief.
There is also medication available like dopamine agonists and others, best to consult a neurologist nearby to confirm the assumed diagnose and get specific treatment.

Restless legs or anxiety problem possible
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
thank you for your clarification. From your specified description it seems that other than RLS an anxiety issue is also possible. Your local neurologist should be able to distinguish between both and suggest proper treatment. In case of anxiety this can be special medication like antidepressants and short term use of tranquillizers, best advisable in that case is also cognitive behavioral therapy as well as relaxation techniques. Good thing you don't consume nicotine, alcohol or large amounts of caffeine in any case.
Best regards,
