Honestly, I had to google what a latissmus dorsi was, haha. Sounds like it could just be muscle spasms caused by things like stress, tension and poor posture.

Do you suffer from a lot of physical tension? I get this and have been getting it, often daily when my GAD flares up, for years and its just a muscular thing due to all the tensing. It can compromise your breathing, not dangerous of course just that it can impact normal breathing, and you may also find tension in your side, which in my case is prevalent in my right side.

Posture as Anthrokid said could also be a reason for this or maybe a combination of the two.

You may find stretching exercises help with muscular pain.

For muscular tension you could try Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR).

I'm currently having pains all over my stomach , but when I feel my stomach it doesn't hurt! Anxiety can be very powerful at times x
