I have severe pain all over my body. What should I do?

Severe body pain can result from viral infections, fever, muscle strain, vitamin deficiencies, stress, poor sleep, arthritis, dehydration, nerve-related problems, or inflammatory conditions. Some people feel generalised heaviness, weakness, stiffness, or burning pain throughout the body, especially during infection, exhaustion, or nutritional imbalance. The exact cause of the disease often depends on associated symptoms such as fever, swelling, fatigue, numbness or joint pain. Relief usually depends on identifying the underlying cause of the pain. Sufficient hydration, proper sleep, gentle stretching, warm compresses, and balanced nutrition may help in milder cases. Doctors may sometimes recommend blood tests for vitamin D, calcium, thyroid function, infection markers, or anaemia if the pain persists for many days. Pain-relieving medicines or physiotherapy may help depending on whether the problem is muscular, inflammatory, or nerve-related. High fever, chest pain, breathing difficulty, sudden weakness, severe swelling, or inability to walk should be checked urgently because widespread body pain can occasionally signal a more serious medical condition.
