Anxiety can and does cause many things to happen to the body.
Stressful life events frequently trigger the onset of severe anxiety and ultimately physical symptoms like the ones you are having.  
I would recommend seeking professional help to guide you in dealing with your symptoms and handling the life event that is making it worse.

See this link about anxiety and muscle spasms.
