Hello
Welcome here.
You are having anxiety and muscle aches.
This can be due to generalized anxiety disorder.
I can understand your concerns.
There are two treatment options:
1. Drugs like escitalopram, paroxetine are used in the treatment. These are antidepressant medicines which also have anti-anxiety effects.
2. Psychological treatments like biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation techniques are also very helpful.
You can visit a psychiatrist for the proper management of your symptoms.
You can also practice deep breathing and meditation to keep your mind and body relaxed.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
