Can health anxiety cause fibromyalgia like symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They are related: There is clearly an association as about 20 percent of patients diagnosed with the chronic pain associated with Fibromyalgia also suffer from an anxiety disorder or depression. Symptoms of fibromyalgia are multiple. Causation is a different question. A comprehensive evaluation is recommended.
