I am on imbruvica for SLL and having persistent headaches. Sometimes even my teeth hurt. Has anyone else experienced this?

We have lymph nodes in our head, many near sinuses. Changes or inflammation in these areas induced by medication can lead to headaches & tooth pain.

thanks. My nose does hurt some but most headaches are in my temples or front of head --where ever they hit.

Sounds like trigeminal neuralgia-which i have. The toothache part especially on the left side of the mouth seems to indicate that.

I had tooth pain but it always happened when i was about to get about of arrythmia. My blood pressure kit indicates when I have arrhythmia. I went off ibrutinib and it stopped. Also stress played a role. Do you check bp when you feel the tooth pain?
