Q: does long standing anxiety or stress cause neurological symptoms such as tingling in legs, muscular twitches or odd sensations in body ???

: A variety of psycho-somatic symptoms can be caused by emotional disorders, but you could also have an "organic" medical co-morbidity, which your doctor would need to separate out. However, why not address your anxiety problems with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and/ or Biofeedback, if either is available where you reside??
