Anxiety: Possibly. But people also often carry tension in their neck, shoulders and upper back when anxious.

Agree with Dr. F: Resuming exercise is likely to help. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
