What's the Cause?
Body aches will cause you discomfort but are usually harmless. It is generally due to tiredness or exercise. Stress, lack of sleep, dehydration or an infection such as flu may cause dull but persistent aches.
Depending on its intensity and frequency, it can also be symptoms of a chronic underlying condition such as anemia, autoimmune disorders, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome or arthritis.
Possible Symptoms
Listed below are some of the possible symptoms you may have if you are experiencing body aches.
Pain
You may experience pain in a specific part of your body where there’s a possibility of inflammation in your soft tissues.
Weakness
An infection such as the flu or fever may leave you experiencing muscle and joint aches.
Fatigue
Poor blood circulation due to inflammation or muscle tensions can leave your muscles and organs under oxygenated.
Muscle Stiffness
Prolonged exposure to stress increases muscle tensions, resulting in stiffness. It can also due to inflammation of your soft tissues.
Did you know?
Exercise can help reduce pain over time. During exercise, our body releases “happy hormones” called endorphins which can help with pain associated with stress and depression. Regular cardio and weight-bearing activities can strengthen our heart, lungs, bones and muscles. It helps protect us against falls and bone fractures, especially the elderly.
