Feeling tired and ugly

[Terri28]

For the past couple days I've felt physical symtoms of a heart attack.. I can't sleep now today I woke up with a headache and jaw pain here & there. I've been in bed all day I'm self diagnosing myself to have TMJ cause I have jaw pain & googled it. I get a hot sensation all over my body. Face feels like needles poking me and everytime I open my mouth it kind of hurts feels weird. I did have my 2 bottom wisdom teeth removed 2 1/2 months ago but I don't think it's from that as it's in the front of my chin all around..Has anyone ever experienced this? I'm scared

Hi Terri

I have just been reading that you have anxiety & OCD , also that you had a premature baby I can only imagine how stressful that must have been but good news that everything is now fine

The jaw , do you clench your teeth or grind them , so many of us with anxiety do & the clenching of are teeth which as well as grinding puts real pressure on our jaws & gives an awful lot of pain , I have been in agony before with jaw pain because of these reasons , you can even be doing it & not realize because it becomes such a habit

I am not a doctor but thinking you have the symptoms of a heart attack no doubt will be your anxiety , if you have been checked out by your GP & they have given you the all clear then it can be difficult but try & trust them it would be more than their job was worth to not do further investigations if they thought there was reason for concern , if you have not been to your GP over this then go & let them check you over , it can give you that peace of mind which when we have anxiety we need

Please don't Google , I know its so tempting , I used to do it all the time & frighten myself so much making everything 100 times worse because Google will always throw out the worse scenario , remember that Google doesn't have your medical history so it cannot diagnose you , only your GP can do that , come on here & talk rather than Google , I am sure you will feel a lot better talking to others that know how you feel

Love

Hello 1whywhy, I appreciate your reply.. Since I've had these symptoms for the last 2 wks I haven't been to the drs due to insurance issues. I am not aware of grinding my teeth unless it's while I sleep. It is so hard to stop googling I have to keep reminding myself not to cause then I worry much more. I do have depression too so I think the anxiety is on too of that too it's such an awful feeling I'm tired of feeling these certain ways.. I'm scared my jaw pain or tightness of the jaw is another physical symptoms of a heart attack.
