    The Following (Below)
    Sore muscles can be from numerous causes. Depending on your type of muscle pain, you can use the following instructions to rid it. The last few asterisks are for preventing future muscle pains. All of your symptoms are completely normal. Don’t worry.
    Normal, Post-Workout Muscle Soreness
    *You can reduce some of the discomfort by stretching the sore muscles often to keep them from tightening up along with participating in light cardiovascular training to get the blood and lymphatic systems moving (to assist flushing of remaining waste products like lactic acid). Anti-inflammatories such as ibuprophen can help relieve the pain, but it has been argued that they may also limit muscle gain.
    Strained or Overexerted Muscle Soreness
    *If the pain is severe, see your doctor. If it’s tolerable, try not to use the muscle and each day you should notice an increased range of non-painful motion. Stretching *may* help depending on the extent of the strain. If the soreness turns into pain as you stretch, stop and just give that muscle some time to heal. Anti inflammatory medication such as ibuprophen can lessen the immediate pain, but may also lessen your muscle gain.
    Pulled or Torn Muscles
    *If you suspect a severely strained or torn muscle, stop exercising, ice the area, and go and see your physician immediately. Continued use of the damaged muscle will only increase the damage and extend healing time. Do NOT apply heat as this will increase the blood flow and swelling, if the area does begin to swell, wrap it snugly with an ace bandage and keep it elevated until your doctor can examine it.
    Preventing future muscle pain/soreness
    (No matter what kind)
    * Gently stretch each muscle group for at least 60 seconds before and after your workouts
    * Begin and end every workout with an absurdly light load. If you’re about to run, start with 10 minutes of fast walking. If you’re about to lift weights, do a couple of speed sets using only the bar and going through the entire range of motion
    * Hydrate! Lots of water or an electrolyte containing sports drink
    * If weight training, stretch the target muscles between sets
    * Finish every workout (even weight training) with 10-15 minutes of light cardio. This gets the blood and lymphatic system flowing and will help eliminate waste products built up from the workout
    * Get a massage
    * Ice the worked muscle group immediately after especially hard workouts
    Good luck! :)

    Some poses in yoga may help, see your doctor or physiotherapist, go get on heck of a massage or change your mattress… I get that too, maybe it’s because you’re overworking your neck or lying on too many pillows at night (i sleep on 4 and my neck hurts but I can’t sleep without them!)
    As for you dizziness, I don’t know…. maybe put at hot/warm flannel on your forehead every now and then?
