Consult MD: While emotional stress can certainly affect your body, and elicit a host of physical problems, this presentation is not typical for a stress reaction, and may not be related to your generalized anxiety disorder. Best to consult a medical provider if the discomfort persists. In terms of your anxiety, a therapist can gelp you better manage symptoms, and lessen the impact of stress on your body.Best

Anxiety and arm pain: Please see your doc to get your arm checked. If there is no physical condition please see a mental health professional who specializes in mood disorders. Anxiety is very treatable and there are lots of reasons to be hopeful. Peace and good health.
