Back ache, and weird chest

[sammyj]

thanks tamo, your post is reassuring. i will listen to my doctor but as I am fairly new to the experiences of anxiety its all a bit worrying so need to start trying to establish when to draw a line at going to the doctors.it is amazing what stress and anxiety can do, when I breath in deeply and release my back pops like it needs a good cracking. I assume this is tension too. Its almost like a relief when it cracks itself

So I went to the doctor and she did some checks on me, ie by pressing areas on my back and neck and down my spine etc. She was doing this to see whether it was bone pain or muscle pain, and it was obviously muscle pain I was having. She said it is muscoskeletal pain. It can be caused by anxiety and tension. I have been so tesne in recent months and also carry a very heavy handbag which is probably contributing to the pain in my left shoulder. Also I had her listen to my lungs as I said I sometimes felt like I just want getting enough air and had this weird virbrating like sensation down my back. Again, anxiety related. She said my lungs sounded good.
