Yes it can...: Don't feel shy to double back to your Dr if symptoms persist. Anxiety can be associated with all sorts of somatic changes, and in my experience is an often under respected cause of unusual symptoms. Try breathing exercises and/or meditation (look up a video online). Reduce stress. Exercise. Makes a lot of sense to go talk to a mental health professional. Help is out there.
