Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.It seems to be stress related myalgia. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief and anxiolytic such as alprazolam for anxiety relief. However you can exclude cardiogenic pain by heart function tests. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered.If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
