Generalized body aches and weakness may result from insufficient rest and excessive physical fatigue in daily life, or from excessive accumulation of lactic acid due to intense exercise. Additionally, generalized body aches and weakness may be associated with conditions such as colds, anemia, or hypokalemia. It is recommended that patients get adequate rest and increase fluid intake. If symptoms do not improve, timely medical evaluation and treatment are advised.
