A member asked:
Can stress/anxiety cause physical pain in the body ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When we are: stressed or hyper-vigilant we tense muscles and rib cage breathe and this constriction can cause pain. The Relaxation Response is a little book/technique by Herbert Benson, a cardiologist that helps reverse this flight-flight-freeze mode of being. Peace and good health.
