Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, anxiety can cause tremors in hands and chest pain. Anxiety causes vague somatic complaints like tremors, palpitations, chest pain or heaviness, dryness of mouth, sweating, impending sense of doom, etc. symptoms.
If the symptoms persist then please visit a doctor for help.
For anxiety relaxation exercises like yoga, progressive muscle relaxation exercises etc can help. SSRI drugs like Escitalopram or Sertraline can be used for severe anxiety.
Visit a psychiatrist for help.
THANKS AND TAKE CARE
