Hi,

First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.

Based on the history you have shared, it seems to be muscular but still, it's good that the possibility of heart-related issues was ruled out first.

Meanwhile, OTC analgesics like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen along with muscles relaxants like tizanidine may be used.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
