New to the site. I have anxiety, but the most annoying is my health anxiety. Every ache or wiggle or twinge & I obsess over it until a new pinch or twinge comes . I'm driving myself nuts I know. I always question is something anxiety,& am my own dr..with Google as my assistant ..oh take it from me do NOT go onto WebMD if you have health anxiety ..geeeeeeez. Anyways ,currently I have this annoying habit of grinding my teeth & went to the dentist. There isn't much erosion on my teeth, at least not caused by the bruxism . Well, because of teeth grinding sometimes I get aches ..my ears are a bit sensitive , neck aches etc. I also get aches while I belch , that used to be a habit of mine ..then I switched to teeth grinding lol. Well I belch often nowadays b/c of acid reflux ..😔. Then get anxious when burping, get aches near my ears , temples sometimes ..it then chills out when I calm down. Stress could cause all of this? Well, I know now ..like every ache or twinge I completely obsess over 24/7. Seeing my counselor soon..to learn ways to overcome this. I hate anxiety ..glad this forum is available .

I WAS JUST LIKE YOU ! OMG lol I would search web MD ALL the time. Which led me to the ER. ALL the time. I turned out to be fine and completely okay. I still have anxiety. I just don't worry like that anymore. If there is any advice I can give you is when your in those situations and your starting to think " omg what's wrong with me ?!" Just acknowledge it. But say to yourself "thank you for that but I choose to think this way " and go on to say something positive. This is something I'm still working on everyday. But what I just told you is something my therapist has told me ! You should check out my blog I talk about my life dealing with anxiety , depression & PTSD. I also post tips and coping strategies that I've learned and my therapist recommends. I hope you feel better. Negative thinking can be changed it just takes HARD WORK AND DEDICATION.
Stress can and will cause TMJ problems.. you also might be grinding your teeth in your sleep.. I'm a Dental Assistant and often the Dr will have mouth gaurd made so you can wear at night..
Yes! I got one coming :)) lol have the coolest new dentist I go to now. Plus while there he found several cavities lol but that's besides the point , I mainly went in complaining about teeth grinding , & he said he'll make a night guard for me :)) it'll definitely be better for me.
