Anxiety and Physical Symptoms

Can anxiety cause physical symptoms? I had an unprotected oral sex enounter about 4 days ago. Its a bit early to know if I contracted anything, but the anxiety is driving me crazy. I keep feeling sensitive in my penis and pubic region especially when I get really nervous. I don't have an visivble std symptoms thus far, can anxiety cause this sensitivity and tenderness? Thanks.

is this the only time you had unprotected sex? if not   i think  you  better set another  DR. something , i would go back in two weeks and  geta full work , I will say Anazity  can make aperson feel about any thing, dont dont feel bad about it. at leat yuo are trying to find out if you contacted a  a STD,  iam not a experts on STD, but soem kinds you can have symtons quite soon,and soem it takes a long time.  PS ahve tyo ckecked

I did see a Dr. yesterday, but there wasn't much she can do. She told me it was low risk, but of course not no risk. The soonest most STDs would show in a lab test would be about another week and herpes about two more. I don't know how I'm going to make it.

best thing to do is get to a DR-like yesterday, that way you will know for sure.
