No. My husband and had it. Before they had "Requip" he took Levadopa, a Parkinson's medication. It helped and eventually it went away. But it's in the legs and the legs only. More info:

I have the form of RLS where I just feel uncomfortable. My legs don't actually move at all, I just feel like I have to get up and MOVE!! I don't get it that frequently however. I can certainly see where you are coming from in your question. I suppose I do get antsy at certain points in my life where I am stressed or anxious, and that is where the RLS is more common than not.

I think it has more to do with a high metabolism, your body keeps moving because it needs to burn more. It should go away if one gets enough exercise.
Also it will be triggered by any stress, as the body's natural flight or fight mechanism prevents one from being settled.
It's weirder if one doesn't have it I think, seems perfectly normal to me.

No they do not feel nervous,. They are very relaxed and in fact they are usually asleep when their legs start jumping and moving and that is what wakes them up.
