Specializes in Psychiatry

Practicing what?: Muscles can become fatigued and "full of lactic acid, " resulting in a burning sensation. You don't mention what you're practicing -- is it a sport? A musical instrument? Other? Anxiety can cause physical sensations that become uncomfortable, such as muscle tension, tingling of different parts of the body, heart pounding, shortness of breath, etc.
