Yes, your body is tightening us so much in reaction to your anxiety. Grinding your teeth is common when you are anxious, at night for example so you wake up with your jaw hurting. You'll find when the anxiety subsides so will the jaw pain. I'm experiencing the same thing now!
Chest discomfort is probably one of the most common anxiety physical symptoms. The more you focus on these symptoms the worse they'll feel. Your mind and body are so connected that your mind can completely bring on physical symptoms. Panic attacks etc. Wouldn't exist if this was not the case. Hope this helps!

Yes so am I, it's unfortunate, we'll create a massive list of symptoms because we're so in tune with our body and end up petrifing ourselves! The symptoms are more on one side? Why are you worried they are more on one side?
Lymph nodes worry me too, I had a tiny one from a sore throat and it scared me, but these things can be a lot more minor than we make out!
