Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to mialgia which is a muscle pain.
I recommend to do an electrocardiogram to exclude other causes.
I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day.
I also suggest using warm compresses for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
