A member asked:
Can anxiety cause these symptoms of a pulled muscle on the left side of my chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve root irritatio: Anxiety will aggravate the pain symptoms but usually not the cause of your pains. Please make sure that you are not over exercising or lifting heavy things. You will need to be evaluated by your family doctor and a specialist and physical medicine and rehabilitation.
