A member asked:

What can cause brain fog, stiff neck, and anxiety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See belwo: Are these new sx or something you've experienced before? In any case, it's always a good idea to discuss these sx with your primary care doctor to rule out any physical causes and take things from there. You still can practice deep breathing and relaxation for your anxiety sx. Good luck!
