Specializes in Pediatrics

PAIN: At your age 18, the causes may be from: excessive physical activity, viral illness (because you have body aches also), migraine, or less possibly high blood pressure, sleep position related, etc. Take Ibuprofen 400-600 mg every 6-8 hours for 1-2 days, drink more water, take enough rest; if not better, see your doctor.
