I'm having constant throat tightness ("lump") and muscle pain. could it be anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, however...: Anxiety can commonly manifest in the body as muscle tension, muscle tightness and pain. However, other medical conditions can also manifest with these symptoms. See your primary care doctor to evaluate for other medical diagnoses. If it is an anxiety condition, a cognitive-behavioral therapist may help or medication.
