When i get stressed out i notice my lower leg starts to tingle could this be from anxiety?

Possibly, but: Have the doc check you. Anxiety can manifest in many ways, including what you mention. If there is no underlying medical cause then anxiety may be at the root of the situation. We can all use some stress-management these days and a clinical psychologist can teach you some strategies that can help. Peace and good health.
