Create very annoying symptoms.
Anxiety brings with it the excessive amount of stress hormone called cortisol that in turn cause he fight or flight response. Hence the physical symptoms such as heart racing, chest tightness or pain, stomach butterflies, head and neck pain, stiff muscles, etc.

The answer to what anxiety can do to your body depends on a number of factors. First, it is important to know what kind of anxiety you are suffering from. Is it acute, how long has it lasted, what is it related to? In other words, the history of your anxiety is very important to answer your question. The body's reaction to anxiety again depends how severe it is. Anxiety usually activates the sympathetic nervous system which regulates breathing, heart rate and the state of your internal organs (in particular the digestive tract). With sustained levels of anxiety, the heart can be compromised and various gastrointestinal problems can arise (like ulcers). Usually, your anxiety has to be pretty severe and pretty long-lasting to create these problems in your body. The more safety you feel, the less likely that your body will be impacted.
