I suffer from health anxiety.I am constantly worried about health.I am constantly dealing with dental problems,OSTEARTHRITIS AND MUSCLE TENSION.Worrying

Health anxiety will certainly cause muscle tension. Osteoarthritis is many times just a process of growing older! My advice is to address health concerns as they come. Good karma my friend!

I’m in the same boat. Always worrying. Just remember to focus on the present. I know it’s easier said than done but we are resilient and con man overcome a lot. Know that your not alone and we just need to take each day at a time.

Hi,

I don't worry about my health anymore as I have had so many tests etc and all is well there.

However, I have suffered muscle tension for the past 5 years and dental problems, teeth hurting, had root canals done, teeth still hurting. All due to clenching my jaw with anxiety, anger, concentration, who knows? My dentist said the jaw clenching can cause pain and tension in your back, shoulders and neck, even in your hips, legs and upper arms.

Having said all this not sure what can be done, I've tried mouth guards to no avail. I think it's become a habit and I'm not sure how to stop. But it's amazing the pain that jaw clenching can cause to your body.
