My answer is no worry does not solve problems at all because worrying is a state of mental distress that usually involves dwelling on negative thoughts and potential outcomes.

And another reason is that worring can cloud judgment and hinder clear thinking that simply means it impairs decision making and also it affects well being.

So instead of worrying it's really more productive to channel our energy towards problem solving strategies such as seeking advice and support then gathering information also.
