My muscles ache when I'm stressed for long periods of time. I also heard mental health can have a big impact on your physical well-being.

It's worth looking into and/or asking your doctor about.  When I was going through a considerable period of stress and anxiety, I developed severe muscle pain in my left bicep.  It was so strange.  It gradually went away as I managed my stress down.
