Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

The symptoms like shakiness of hands and sweying of legs are due to anxiety only. These symptoms occur episodically. You are known case of health anxiety and are in Citalopram.
Citalopram is a SSRI drug and it helps to decrease unwanted thoughts, but for symptoms control in events of severe anxiety medicines like Propranolol or low dose benzodiazepines as Etizolam can prove useful. These drugs will help to decrease tremors and shakiness and will relieve anxiety. Consult a psychiatrist for prescription and management.

Thanks, hope this helps you
