Hi,

The first step would be to have some blood tests in particular including electrolyte panel and creatine kinase which is an enzyme elevated in case of muscle damage.

If the tests come out alright I would say that those symptoms of dry heaving, tingling, widespread aching etc are either in the setting of a viral infection which should be transitory or due to anxiety.

Anxiety is commonly associated with a tension-type headache. As for medication, I would advise only over the counter medication like Ibuprofen and relaxation exercises.

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