HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Anxiety can be associated with physical symptoms. Pain in the back of the neck , chest pain and palpitations are symptoms that are commonly seen in anxiety so it is possible that they are all related to this condition.
Other conditions can be ruled out with tests such as ECG, blood tests (thyroid function, full blood count).
IF these are normal then you should consider medication to help to treat your anxiety.
I hope this helps
