A member asked:
Anxiety/stress - can the symptoms be higher bp, arm pit pain, upper back pain? can it also be triggered by not eating enough through a day?

Possibly : You need to be seen by a doctor to ensure there is no organic cause for your symptoms . Even though it is possible for anxiety to cause an array of symptoms it is not safe to make that assumption . Evaluation by health care provider needs to be made
