Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your history.

The reason behind your leg shake might be
- Anxiety attack which is more likely
- Hypoglycemia
- Increased Blood pressure momentarily because of nicotine
- nicotine intoxication

So you should consult your physician to rule out physical causes and treatment accordingly.

You must avoid taking nicotine further.
Thanks.
