Hello,
The burning sensation in your back and tightness in your head can be caused by anxiety. This happens to me when I get attacks. Let me guess does your neck get tight too? Sometimes in an attack the muscles of your neck tighten causing blood to be restricted from the brain (not a harmful level this will not hurt you) and then you can get head aches, tightness even numbness. Good luck and I hope this helps

I think we all have little aches and pains that we tend to focus on.  I am not really sure if Xanax is the choice med for burning and tightness.  Have you discussed this with your doctor?

I assume your doctor has cleared you of any medical problems.  Tightness in the head can be from stress and can give one terrible headaches.  Posture also plays an important role as well.  When I am stressed due to anxiety I actually tend to ache all over.  Have you seen a therapist to talk about your cause/causes of anxiety and worry?
