Hi Priya,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic and thanks for your question...

Some of the symptoms which you have described may to be indicative of an anxiety disorder. Feeling restless / inability to relax, excessive worry, tension, difficulty in sleeping are some of the symptoms suggestive of an anxiety disorder. In addition, one can also have physical symptoms like trembling, excessive sweating, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, palpitations, etc. However, it is to be remembered that to be diagnosed to have an anxiety disorder, symptoms should be prominent, affect your day-to-day functioning and be there for a significant period of time.

Moreover, anxiety can arise due to a variety of causes and anxiety disorders are of different subtypes. Sometimes, we may experience anxiety symptoms due to a stress which we are not able to cope up with. In some persons, anxiety can also be associated with fear of having health problems or a major disease. So, you will need to give a more detailed history and will need a detailed assessment to get a proper understanding of your problem.

All the best.
