Brief Answer:
it can be due to anxiety or local muscular problem

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.

Muscle ache can be due to anxiety or can be due to local muscular problem. Not due to heart problem that is sure. I recommend consulting orthopedic doctor once to rule out any muscular problem. For a while you can take diclofenac or ibuprofen like pain killer if you have more pain.


Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,

Dr.Chintan Solanki.
