Can people experience random body aches with out an underlying cause? If so can this last a while in the presence of minor pain?
Brief Answer:
Probably body aches due to stress or anxiety, follow the advice below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I understand your concern.
I already reviewed your medical history.
There many medical conditions that can cause body aches.
Anxiety and stress are common medical conditions which can be presented with body aches and minor pain.
Viral infections can also cause body aches without any other symptom.
So, I would recommend you to do some examinations for further evaluation.
I suggest:
A complete blood count
Rheumatoid factor level
Thyroid hormone levels
These examinations are needed to exclude any possible underlying causes.
Meanwhile, I would recommend you to use over the counter painkillers such as Acetaminophen 500 mg three times a day.
If anxiety or stress is the cause of your body aches the symptoms can last as long as the stress will continue.
In this case a consult with a psychiatrist is needed for a specific treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
