Hi ave
im new to this forum but I too suffer from really bad anxiety attacks and my body feels week to I also tense my jaw a lot when stressed and by the end of the day I cant sleep because my muscles around my jaw hurt real bad and usual get a headache as well. Anxiety really takes a lot out of your body and because you tense your muscles its normal for them to be sore.

Hi Ave,
Sometimes after a big or prolonged panic attack I get a similar feeling. I feel like I have been holding all my muscles tensed for such a long time that when I finally relax in bed they ache and sometimes cramp.
Does stretching before bed help? Or a heat pack on your shoulders/neck? Sometimes a hot bath with Epsom salts helps me when it's really bad.
Have you spoken to your GP? Dr Google can be more stressful then helpful sometimes and reassurance from a doctor can really help out your mind at rest. If you do go - booking a double appointment can help ensure you have enough time to go over all your concerns.
I hope you feel better soon.
Jess
