What causes body aches and weakness upon waking in the morning?
Disease description:
After waking up, I felt unusually sore and weak all over my body. I took a walk around the square downstairs last night, but didn't engage in any excessive physical exercise. I'd like to ask the doctor: what could be causing whole-body aches and weakness upon waking in the morning?

Dr. Yang Shuwen
If a patient wakes up in the morning feeling sore and weak throughout the body, it may be caused by one of the following reasons: 1) excessive physical activity the previous day leading to lactic acid buildup, resulting in soreness and weakness upon waking the next day; 2) mental health conditions such as excessive stress, anxiety, or depression, which can also cause symptoms of morning soreness and fatigue.
