Brief Answer:
Dehydration

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the information.

Sorry for the delayed response.

Muscle pains and headache indicate dehydration. Loss of electrolytes will lead to such muscle pains. You may have to take hyperosmolar oral rehydration solutions like Rabalanz or Electrol. Continue taking the same for a week. This will surely provide you relief.

Hope, I answered your query.

Please do ask if any doubts.
