Hey Guys,
What's up with sore shoulder/neck muscles and accompanying slight breathing constriction?
Anyone have this? Does it have to do with anxiety disorder?

I have had terrible shoulder pain before. The first time I had the pain was during all 4 years of high school. I was squeezing my shoulders due to stress and anxiety. I used to get so nervous when I was running track that I would shrug my shoulders causing knots in my neck/ shoulders. The remedy for that was when I stopped running track the stress went away. The second time I had neck pain it was due to having too many pillows. Try stretching and rolling your neck.

Hello,
I thank you for your post and for your suggestions.
I know that I have caused this discomfort through doing household chores and exercising with tension around my upper body. Now, I am learning to relax and to be mindful of when I tense up in the neck and shoulders while working. Things are feeling a whole lot better today.
All the Best,
Patti
