    Pain in the ribs is one of my most common symptoms, that and upper back pain. Ā Feeling exhausted is a very common side effect of anxiety, being anxious IS exhausting, you're using a lot of energy worrying and such, all this is normal for anxiety.

    Hiya i get pains all over my body, i had a pain in my back just in one place yesterday and it was bloody hurting, so yes i think with HA we are far too attuned to the way our body feels so as soon as we get dull aches or pains we freak outšŸ˜£ and yes feeling exhausted is a common thing, ive been in a right state today with non stop worry and crying and now i feel so tired and worn out...so try not to worry xx
