      When I'm anxious or highly stressed my neck and upper back get very tense and achy. My hands also tingle. I recognize it for what it is, and I don't fight it, analyze it. I just operate in an anxious state until it passes. I don't change what I'm doing at that moment. It's like I operate beside it. I find that it passes.

      Oh yes I forgot the cold sweaty palms and the tingling sensations. I get them all the time. I also suffer from tight shoulders and neck. Not nice but like you say, it does pass.

      If you are in a place where you can do this.... lay down on the bed, close your eyes and breath deeply. Don't avoid the thoughts of impending doom. Say okay, I thought that last week, and I'm still here, and I thought that yesterday and I'm still here and everything is okay. Mentally laugh at your fear. Even if you don't believe it right now.

      You can convince yourself because you are not going to die. Don't let the anxiety win. Get mad at it. Take charge and visualize beating it.
