Anxiety, especially unrecognized anxiety, can lead to physical symptoms.
Hyperventilation syndrome is such a problem.
This is often associated with a feeling of chest pain or constriction. The lower level of carbon dioxide results in symptoms of numbness, tingling of the hands, and dizziness. The numbness and tingling may extend to the feet and also be noted around the mouth. Occasionally, spasms of their muscles of the hand may occur. Young adults suffer from this syndrome the most.
