What Causes Severe Muscle Pain In Entire Body And Headache?

Thank you for your time. My email address is YYYY@YYYY . I have been experiencing moderate to severe muscle pain basically over my entire body and headache for the past 5 days. I have no other symptoms - no upper respiratory or gastrointestinal issues. Excedrin and Tylenol have had no effect. I had some Tylenol 3 left from a minor surgery last year and tried that but that had little effect other than making me sleepy. It is not exercise induced as I have been very busy at work. Hot showers provide some temporary relief. I am an attorney and do desk work only. I am slightly underweight but eat a healthy diet and take vitamins daily. I increased my Magnesium intake after checking symptoms on line. I feel silly going to the doctor - not to mention that I am busy - for something that seems so minor but it is really beginning to interfere with my daily life. Any suggestions that you have would be appreciated.

Hello,

Stress and anxiety can cause a variety of physical pain.
These include jaw, neck, chest, stomach, and back pain, as well as headaches and muscle spasms.
Body soreness caused by anxiety can be managed.
Getting the right balance of sleep, exercise, and proper nutrition into your daily life can go a long way.
I also sugegst to continue taking magnesium supplements daily.

Hope my answer was helpful.
