agitatedly

In restless manner

In an agitated manner—restlessly, nervously, or with visible disturbance.

The word describes actions performed while emotionally unsettled: She paced agitatedly around the room, He ran his fingers agitatedly through his hair.

The adverb is somewhat formal; in casual speech, people more often say "nervously" or describe the agitation directly.
