Hi,
Warfarin may not cause anxiety and palpitations. It may can cause leg cramps in few patients. People living in high altitude may present like anxiety neurosis due to less oxygen levels in air. Please consult your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
