Hi, I don't often post here as although I have health anxiety I tend to worry about being ill and dying in general rather than a particular illness. Mines mainly the thought of something being seriously wrong with me physically now or in the near future. Anyways I am just wondering if there's many of you that suffer with back ache and sides aching?. I know chest ache is pretty common with anxiety. I am getting all of these at the minute and it's stopping me doing certain things as it aches so much. It's upper and lower back, my sides (roughly to bottom of rib area) and chest off and on. My right leg starts tingling at night also at the minute and occasionally have a numbing sensation on upper right thigh also in evening.
I did breifly mention this to my dr in the week but appt was about progress on citalopram so didn't have much time to go in depth on this and she said to try some stretches and maybe it's a trapped nerve. I am guessing it's coming from tense muscles and poor posture through the anxiety but it's really bothering me. Just wondering if anyone else gets this as symptoms of anxiety?
