You have to hold you pick relaxed, not tight and play from wrist. Sometimes when I don't hold my guitar properly my muscles get stiff. You should analyze how you hold guitar.

I wanna add that starting slow and carefully analyzing and focusing on your movements, and thinking what you can do to improve the picking technique on slow tempos, will greatly affect your future practice sessions as well. We all have slightly different picking preferences, so choosing the right one for you should not be a big problem if you start simple and analyze the movements carefully for some time. The positive thing is that you are able to determine what the problem is, so you can overcome it.

Starting slow and specially warming up before will for sure help. Constant downpicking can be very demanding for your right hand so don't try it at too high speeds in the beginning.

Practice makes perfect !
You should warm up and build your tempos with metronome, speed will come with time and practice of course |

This is normal! You must as mentioned above, warM up before any practice. Play slowly with a metronome, you should be able to feel on which tempo your hand starts to tense up. Stay there and try to relax willingly and see what happens...With some concentration you should be able to pull it off.Also see if you are holding the instrument comfortably.With some practice you will get it, and those down strokes are always trouble.
