Hi Sam, you should definitely see a doctor about this! Many things can cause these types of symptoms and you need a good workup to find out what's going on. It's really not useful conjecturing about what it could be given all the possibilities.
If your workup comes out negative and your doctor turns to you with a blank look you might consider a disorder called fibromyalgia which is associated with poor sleep, widespread muscle and often joint pain, fatigue, poor concentration, etc. But don't even think about fibromyalgia until everything else has been discarded.
Due your due diligence and see a doctor and good luck!
