What Causes Tremors While Standing?

Hello, I m a 23 year old female. I don t actually know if this was happening all the time, but I noticed that when standing I raise my bent leg up, and then while extending and putting it down, it starts to shake. This shaking is actually felt by the whole body. Also, if I m sitting, ant lift my heel up, and while slowly putting it down, the leg is shaking. I also sometimes feel my legs shaking when i go downstairs. Is this normal, or should I see a neurologist? P.S. I ve been depressed the last few months, with feelings of anxiety. And I was quite inactive at this time. Maybe my muscles have gone very weak? I m so scared this could be a multiple sclerosis symptom. Or some kind of tremors. I would be very pleased if i get your answer. Thank you in advance.
