Probably the worst thing about stress and anxiety in particular is the fact how much negative effects and body symptoms they cause. We rarely connect these things with stress and anxiety, but symptoms like increased heart rate, hyperventilation, sweating, trembling or even feeling weak or fatigued can all be caused by anxiety. And one body sign that is typical for anxiety is muscle tension. Usually your abdominal or throat muscles tense to the point your posture or voice completely change. And if simple “trying to be relaxed” approach isn’t working you should consult with your doctor about trying some anti-anxiety medication to help you with your symptom.

thanks for replying , my doctor has me on flexrill for muscle relaxer , i do not notice any difference except it does help me sleep a little better . She also has tried me on Zoloff and it did not seem to make a difference . But i have decided to try the Zoloff again and see if it will help and have more of a positive attitude .
i went to massage therapy today that relaxed me some what . I also have Fibromyalgia and i am sure that adds to the issue . I am going to PT tomorrow and see if that helps .
At times i even have a horrible taste in my mouth , i wonder if that is related to anxiety as well .. Lately my B/P is all over the place . But my doctor did not seem concerned .
The tightness in the front of my throat could be caused from stress and anxiety the weirdest thing is i do not know why i am stressed !! so confusing .
