Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more at her age of 16 years.
Heart diseases are very rare at young age and her blood pressure and pulse are normal, so heart related diseases are extremely unlikely.
She is having tenderness (pain on touching), this is characteristic feature of musculoskeletal pain.
So ask her to avoid movements causing pain.
Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
Painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs will also helpful. Application of warm water pad on affected areas is also helpful. Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
