Stress or something else?

The past 3 weeks or so my whole body, especially my legs, are aching massively by the end of the day. Feels like I've run a marathon! I've also been having some chest tightness.

We're in the midst of moving house, I have 2 dc 3.5 and under and work part time so the usual life stresses I suppose.

Had routine bloods regularly up until 3 months ago to monitor iron as it's been low since dc2. Due another test but struggling to book. But it was all normal results last time. Got a GP appt to discuss the tiredness and chest tightness for the beginning of August.

Just wondered if anyone has any thoughts in the meantime? I mean mentally I don't feel any more stressed than usual but I suppose it could just be manifesting physically?

Get an earlier/urgent appointment or go to A&E if you feel pain in your chest or arms. If you're not feeling stressed then these are not stress related symptoms.

Thank you I will try the GP again. I did put the chest tightness on my symptoms and they don't seem to be worried if they want to see me in Aug! I was on on beta blockers years ago for stress related palpitations so maybe they think it's that kind of thing again.
