Does anyone have body ache/muscle tightness? Feel like my body is tight, my muscles get tired

Does anxiety cause this? Even if you don't feel stressed at the moment?

What helps you?

Thank you in advance for sharing

I sometimes get this and have it right now, muscles in neck, shoulders, rib cage all tight and uncomfortable and it affects my breathing. I think it’s stress and/or anxiety. You have to relax all your muscles and breath inand out slowly trying to calm yourself and relax

This is quite common, but it should go as you relax (though I’m talking about several days, rather than something immediate). The problem with stress is that it can take a while for the symptoms to appear, so you may not feel stressed when you actually have the symptoms. Provided the symptoms come and go, then I think it most likely that it is stress (even though you might not be able to figure out exactly what has caused it). However, if the symptoms are regular or continuous, then I think you should see a doctor to rule out anything else.

yes, good morning I get that. Also the tightness of my muscles and the pain it can be anxiety. I have very bad anxiety and I noticed that when it’s at its worse that’s when it happens I just keep moving because that’s the best way and drink plenty of water don’t get hot dehydrated.
