Brief Answer:
anger can cause tightness of muscles and pain.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns.

Sometimes, Emotional stress like anger or frustration can result in tension in the body, particularly in any areas that are already weakened or overworked – like the neck.

This tension amounts to tight muscles, which can irritate the nerves and produce the pain in your neck. This neck pain can radiate to chest.

I would support your decision to see a psychiatrist. Your condition is not serious and quite manageable.

Practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation. This will help in controlling anger.

Other then this, you can learn to practice progressive muscle relaxation technique from your doctor.

Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Take care.
Thanks.
