i tic hella worse, most of the time, when anxious... not really any nauseated feelings, though... and sometimes, getting anxious helps me in some ways (probably very difficult for any of you to understand, i know).
and i guess if you count stabbing myself as a physical problem (try looking at a calf impaled on a knitting needle and tell me it isn`t), then yes, anxiety has sometimes caused very physical symptoms in me.
i used to be an EMT/clerk in an ER, before it was realized that i was only certified EMT by accident (you must have a valid drivers license, which i overlooked upon beginning the training and the people that decide if you get certed or not didn`t notice until later)... and i saw some very sick people come in who were *only* having anxiety attacks. physical manifestations are quite common for anxiety.
