A member asked:

Been felling depressed lately and now suddenly been having muscle/body aches and feeling hot the past 24 hours, can it be because of depression?

Maybe, maybe not: Depression does not have only mental symptoms, but many phyiscal ones as well. Body aching and "feeling hot" certainly could be part of the same problem. Or maybe you have a viral infection or something else in addition to depression. The only way to know is to see a doctor and take it from there. Do it ASAP. Good luck.

Unlikely!: Muscle pain and "feeling" hot sound like a VIRAL infection rather than symptoms of depression. Suggest you check your Temperature and increase your fluids...if symptoms continue a contact with your GP or Family Physician is in order! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
