A member asked:
Is it normal to have muscle pain two days after a panic attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Panic Attack: Very few of my patients report that, but with significant tetany (marked contraction of muscles) that can occur with hyperventilation, it is possible to have residual soreness of muscles. Also, note that with anxiety (in general) there can be a great deal of tension that is often held in neck and upper back muscles which can lead to discomfort and soreness.
