Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor,

I have gone through the query and can certainly understand your concern,

Before I can guide you further, I would like to know a few related details:
- Any history of diabetes, hypertension or heart disease?
- Any associated symptoms to chest pain, weakness of hands or legs etc?
- Where exactly do you feel the muscle tightness- over hands or legs or over the face?

These symptoms could be a manifestation of vitamin B12 deficiency. Kindly revert back with the above details so that I can guide you better.

Regards
