I certainly can't speak for EVERYONE, but sharp, burning pains in the right arm is not really a classic symptom of anxiety. But we are all so incredibly individual in how we manifest our anxiety.........these pains could be, for YOU, a by-product of your anxiety.
Do you have any numbness or tingling in your fingers along with these pains? Does it radiate to your back? Is there ever any discoloration of your skin or nailbeds while this is hapening? Is your arm weak during these times?
This sounds more to me like some kind of  musscle/tendon strain, but I'm NOT a doctor so that is strictly a guess. I think your best bet is to see your doctor for a reliabel dx of this issue.
Let us know what they find out, OK?
