Anxiety /teeth

[Paulina21]

Does any one have anxiety combined with strange feelings in their teeth . Type of burning ...Tongue keeps thrusting at times to teeth feeling symptoms ...

Been told it's anxiety after X-rays but on bad days can't comprehend it !!!!

Yes I do.. my teeth feel's tight and my tongue feels weird like tingly hard to describe it.. I also get tightness all over my head and face my shoulders, neck get tense.. my body start's to have muscle spasms, my fingers tingle I get so bad I panic really bad.. when the anxiety panic attacks are slowing down I start to get really tired and my body gets really weak.. anxiety panic attacks take a lot out of you it take all your energy. I use to get really scared I would over think everything now I just don't care to over think anything because all it does is stress me and my body out I just live one day at a time.. you will be fine just ride through it don't focus on the feelings you have so much everyone has those feelings yhey just don't stay focused on it like those with anxiety

Hi jax78

Thank you for replying ..

Gosh the other body symptoms you mention I can relate to them , head pressure , tiredness etc ...

The teeth issue fears me the most as I am convinced if I had them removed it would all go away ..

I have a post in my mouth awaiting crown to be fitted , even the post has become sore and my tongue won't stop going there , Dentist just keeps saying there is nothing else he can do as X-rays say they are ok .He even took the nerves out of the teeth concerned to help my anxiety ...He won't take teeth out ..

I dint know why I can't rise above it ..

Even take small dose of Amitriptyline to help and numb everything , sounds so weak and pathetic ..

was on the mend stopped taking medication and went down hill with everything , now back on it again .

Just wish I knew exactly why lower 2 teeth keep feeling like they are burning and even feel enlarged !!!!

Do your teeth actually cause you distress and discomfort / burning / even as though they are coming out of the jaw / stretching feeling !!!!!

Dentist said he's never heard anything like this ..

Do you take medication .

Thank you for replying .

My teeth feel horrid where I have had all the treatment , tongue feels anxious at times , and root canal teeth feel big and weird , dentist said it must be stress as he had not heard anything like it .

I wish I could ignore it .

Are your symptoms throughout the day on and off , sometimes stops but can start again at some point ..

Seems to rest more at night now ..

Yes I get it to matter of fact just last night I felt that way. Anxiety does crazy thing's to your body my mouth was dry and felt funny and weird taste in my mouth.. anything can really cause anxiety like my muscles spasms is a big trigger to my anxiety.. my worries about my infection might come back I feel a little pinching or tightness in my jaw I start to worry then there is my anxiety panic attacks.

What are the muscle

Spasms you have , which part of your body ?

[Jax78 in reply to Paulina21]

Neck, shoulders and the upper back.. I get them because I was abused by my ex husband I was hit in the head with a thin pipe several times and I have three indentions in my head and lots of skull fractures

How awful , so sorry , what a difficult thing to deal with physically and mentally ...

Do you have close friend or any one that is there for you ?
