Fairly common: Weak legs are often complained of during anxiety. Causes may involve the adrenaline burst that directs blood to your heart, lungs and brain depriving the leg muscles of oxygen. Also the shallow breathing in anxiety can imbalance your oxygen/carbon dioxide. Take some slow deep breaths and FULLY (grunt) exhale to get rid of stale air from your lungs. Use your legs carefully to > blood flow to them.

This sounds like: A common symptom which arises for mourners at a funeral, their legs feel weak and hold on to loved ones to be able to go to the grave site. Anxiety symptoms often convey a clue about what is bothering the person. Are you afraid to move forward in some area if your life? If medical tests do not indicate any physical problem with your legs consider working with a psychologist 2sort out what's wrong
