Brief Answer:
Blood pressure not related to mucle pain, blood work recommended

Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,

your slightly elevated blood pressure is normally not related with muscle and knee pain. If it keeps being like that you might need to take anthypertensive medication, so please let your local gp keep an eye on it.

Regarding the muscle and joint pain: if a patient with symptoms like that comes to my office i would to rheumatological blood work including crp, sed rate and antibodies for rheuma like ana, ccp, rf.

Please talk to your local gp about that.

Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
