Yes, most definetly. It can cause tremendous fatigue
In some cases, it can cause you to have panic attacks, and yes fatigue is a common symptom of an anxiety disorder.
Not to worry, it can be treated with the right medication and counselling.
It will get better you’ll see.
Good luck!!
Sure it can, I have the same thing but I take meds for it, before I did I would get headaches, backaches and just felt beat up. I think it was because of all the tension I had. When you have anxiety for a long time, like for me it was every day all day, I was tense. I couldn’t relax, all that muscle tension cause me to have fatigue. Also when I had it really bad it was difficult to relax, it was like I was letting my guard down. I couldn’t even get through a massage to try and relax until I started taking meds for it and it was like… this is was life is like with no anxiety, it was such a relief.
