Brief Answer:
Fibromyalgia may be caused by anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

You may suffer from fibromyalgia. It affects the muscles. You may feel chronic muscle pain, sleep problems and fatigue. Also headaches, trouble remembering and concentrating, anxiety or depression may occur.

Women are much more likely to get fibromyalgia. It is unknown why women get it.

It is difficult to diagnose because there is no simple test. You should be examined by your health care provider so that he or she may prescribe medications to help treat the pain.

Also you can try physical therapy, relaxation, and stress reduction to help decrease the pain.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
