Could High Anxiety Be Stress Related?
Question: I have a high anxiety so I don’t know if this has anything to do with this, I keep haveing random sharp calf pain but then it goes away, I also last few nights been waking up with numbness in my neck like something was inside but after 20 minutes it goes away after I relax, then I woke with numbness on the back of my neck, then it went away after being awake after a while, could this all be stress related?
Brief Answer:
Yes
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question, I understand your concern.
All these symptoms could be stress related.
But before we say that, this is stress related, we have to rule out important pathological conditions.
So get following tests done-
Complete blood count
Fasting blood sugar
Serum calcium
Thyroid profile
And check blood pressures.
If all these comes normal, then definitely your symptoms are stress related.
I hope your query is clear now.
Thanks and regards
