Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Your symptoms are most likely due to depression and you already mention about history of chronic depression in your case.

Depression can manifest not only with psychological symptoms but with a variety of physical symptoms also like: Tingling, numbness, hot and cold sensations, palpitation and muscle spasm (lead to pain in multiple parts of body) etc.

Your symptoms will reduce with improvement in depression. For long term control of depression following measures are helpful: relaxation exercise, medicines like SSRIs and non drug treatment like CBT. It is better to get evaluated by psychiatrist and start treatment accordingly.

Wish you good health and all the best.

Regards,
