A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety & The Body: Anxiety can affect us in many ways. Not only are there psychological symptoms, but there are physical symptoms as well. Anxiety can appear as muscle stiffness/aches/pains, joint swelling and pain, gastrointestinal problems and strange neurological manifestations. Only your primary care physician can determine what if any symptoms are due to anxiety, so always check with her/him first.
