Although it' could: It seems a bit unlikely. Anxiety can exacerbate or cause many physical symptoms. Before i would assume it was all what used to be called psychosomatic, i would encourage you to be evaluated by a physician to rule out any physical illness. If you are feeling anxious it would be wise to learn relaxation techniques and speak with a psychologist as well about life issues making you anxious.

Maybe: Anxiety can cause many different physical conditions but this would be extreme if happening at one time. It sounds like you need to see a mental health specialist as well as your primary doctor to make sure there is not an underlying medical problem.
