Yes: It sounds as if you may have fibromyalgia. Flares of fm are often related to increases in anxiety or depression.

Probably linked but: There are many possible ways these could be linked. Anxiety tends to make any symptom worse but usually alone does not cause aches. Poor sleep can aggravate anxiety & cause aches- as dr. Krauser said, these symptoms are often seen in fibromyalgia, but this could be caused by lyme disease, magnesium deficiency, thyroid imbalances, food allergies etc. I advise seeing a holistic doctor- search abihm.
