Dr. Barbara Lavi answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

People tend to: Experience stress in different parts of the body. Some people get head aches, others pains in the neck, back or stomach. It is an unusual place to experience stress, so i would run it by a physician. Sometimes there is a psychological meaning, to the choice of a body part, but I have not had anyone talk about it.
