See a doctor: it can, may be because of the pain. proper evaluation by a doctor will treat the pain from whiplash, and evaluate and treat the anxiety,and everybody live happily ever after.

Any whiplash can--: -cause anxiety, but anxiety may be more because you are not getting better as fast as you would like.

Do evaluate for: Post-traumatic stress syndrome, as the event that caused the whiplash may well have emotional consequences. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and/or EMDR could reverse very well.
