I am a 35 year old female who exercises regularly. Six days ago I spend the whole day (a few days actually) painting and building a patio (my body is accustomed to hard work though). I have seasonal allergies. It was windy and my allergies were definately stirred up. I didn't stop for lunch that day and by that evening my body was achie and I had a headache. I simply thought I worked hard and needed some rest and food. I ate a good dinner, took some ibuprophen and went to bed. If I'm on ibuprophen I'm ok. As soon as the ibprophen wears off the aches return. It has been 6 days now. ( I do have a slight thightness in my chest. When I take a deep breath it makes me cough slightly) Can anyone tell me what this might be?

1. It sounds like you're having an allergic reaction to the paint fumes (bronchi-stuff). It also sounds like you haven't used certain muscles in a while, painting can be quite strenuous in different ways. It wouldn't hurt to make an apt. with your doc. & get checked-out.
2. sometimes you use different muscles when building compared to exercising…also..you use them for longer

   you could also be getting sick.

   asthma? (tightness in chest)

   when in doubt ..see a doctor

3. You MAY HAVE a slight case of bronchial asthma or bronchitis coming on. Let your doc look you over…It will be worth your time.
4. Why don't you go to a doctor? You need a diagnosis and sometimes even doctor aren't good at that. The aches and pains I wouldn't worry about too much because ibuprofen takes care of them , but the chest pain would have me worried.
5. Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck.
   Headaches can be caused by minor problems
   like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more serious reasons
   like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
   meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can
   have harmful side effects, so it is better to
   modify your lifestyle. More information available at

6. paint,the fumes,you probably breathed some in ,and just hard work.it will pass. green tea,it help cleanse your body of all that crap.
7. The only good answer to this is go and see a doctor. After 6 days you should have this checked out.
8. It could be a viral cold or it could be from your allergies, if your chest feels tight you should have your MD listen to your lungs, you may need an inhaler or nebulizer to help loosen your chest up a little, Good Luck!
9. Two things, use of different musles, and on coming sickness. You never want any of 2 things that lowers immune system, tired, hungry, cold.
10. Aches are a type of nagging pain. This section covers
    general achiness or muscle aches; for specific aching areas
    see stomach aches (abdominal pain), muscle aches, earache, joint aches, backaches, or headaches. Ache symptoms may also be related to or occur together with fatigue, weakness, malaise, or fever. All forms of ache symptom need prompt professional medical guidance. (Source: WD Writers)

11. I may just be that you are getting sick. I don't know where you live, but this is the time of the year that flus and colds are going around. I was sick for 2 weeks. I started off with a headache. I thought it was because of a new hairspray I was using. But, it got worse and I ended up with aches and sneezing and then a full blown head and chest cold. Then just when I thought I was getting better, my cold turned into a sinus infection. I took tylenol but even that didn't help me. I live on one side of Canada, my family on the other, and no matter who I am talking too back home, or where I go here, everyone talkes about how they have been sick.

    Hopefully thats all it is! Good luck and hope you feel better soon!

12. It may be paint inhalation. You may be allergiced to the paint. Were you using a respirator?
