Anxiety-Related Aches and Pains: Should I Be Worried?

pain in your back of arms is something you should get checked out

Yes, I have had anxiety show up as chest pain and pain in the areas you identified. In fact, I was going to the ER often enough that they would do an EKG and when that would show up as nothing the doctor would come in and say well, we think this is anxiety. That said, it is important to talk to your doctor and have physical at least done so that they're aware that you're having these pains and can check it out. You never want to assume that chest pain is just anxiety, because well could be, it could also not be. You want to know for sure. But yes, if they do some testing and it comes back that it isn't heart related or acid reflux, for example, then yes it's probably anxiety.
