A member asked:
Upper back, shoulder and neck tight achy feeling. ekg a week ago was normal. muscular or tension? going on 2 wks. was scared it was heart attack.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be muscular.: Given your medical information, symptoms and normal ECG, this could very well be muscular. Could be tension as well. Or simply postural. Computer users tend to get achy muscles as you have described - it's related to the computer posture, if you will. Normal ECG is reassuring.
