Hi,
It seems that you might be having myalgia.
If you are elderly then there is possibility of having pinched nerve problem due to degenerative changes in your cervical spines giving this problem.
Go for x-ray cervical region to rule our cervical spondilitis.
It is better to go for EKG to rule out any cardiac ailment.
Ok and take care.
