tense neck, back and heavy head feeling

[sandralynn92]

i'm not sure what it going on
but i feel like when i am most stressed/anxious my back feels like it's carrying 10 tons of bricks and my head feels like it's going to explode

and when i relax (which is rare, i can't relax anymore) i feel less heavy

but for most of the day my upper body is very tense and it hurts and i feel pains i never knew i had

could this be anxiety, stress, or something else? :/

It is anxiety, when you are very anxious you tense up your muscles. I am having to go for physiotherapy to help loosen my muscles again.
