Agitated

I'm confused, does being agitated mean being nervous or worried or does it mean being irritated, annoyed, upset or angry about something?

anonymous I'm confused, does being agitated mean being nervous or worried or does it mean being irritated, annoyed, upset or angry about something? It means all that, but It is rather imprecise. You are stirred up, shaken, disturbed.
