I've been dealing with GAD for the last 4 months and recently developed a new symptom that had me in my GP's office on monday.
Basically my right arm and leg seem to feel tired, and a tiny bit achy in a vague, non-specific way. I also was convinced that my right arm felt weak in comparison to my left (I'm right handed). I am constantly aware of this and it can be very distracting. Obviously my anxiety caused me to worry that I had some terrible neuromusculer or brain condition.
My GP tested my strength and reflexes and said that objectively there was nothing unusual and no difference between them.
I've had aches before which I assume are caused by persistent muscle tension, particularly in my thighs, groin and back.
Do the symptoms that I have described above sound like a result of muscle tension? Is it possible to experience muscle tension and aches in one particular limb or is it always both?
Some reassurance would be very much appreciated!!
