I'm experiencing a almost constant, low level headache and it seems to be centered behind my eyes.  So far, tests (blood, CT, ect) have all come back normal.  Ive noticed the past few mornings that my jaw seems a little stiff.  Could teeth grinding be causing this??

Its possible you could be experiencing bruxism, talk to your dentist, some peopple who are overly stressed or have parasites can have this.

Do you have TMJ? Ask someone if you grind your teeth at night and see if you catch yourself doing it during the day, when you're nervous. Do you clench your teeth?\nA dentist would want to give you a bite guard to wear at night to save wear on your teeth, if you do have it.\nA doctor would more than likely prescribe a muscle relaxer to start with.

Hi It sounds like it could be a heart problem,or depression.Depression symtoms are like having heart trouble,you have trouble sleeping,chest pains,tingling in fingers and and hands,pain in your jaw,high and low mood swings.You should get  a stress test done,and go on an anti-depressant.Talk to your doctor and good luck!!

It sounds like the problem could be sinus-your maxillary sinuses to be exact(below your eye).  Its uncommon but possible to only have 1 sided sinus pressure. Ive examined many patients with sinus congestion and they describe the same pressure,"face falling off when they lean forward" symptoms. Possibly an ENT-(ear nose and throat  dr)would be a good start-they deal with cranial/sinus disorders. At least a specialist like that instead of a primary might have more insight  :)

Migraine's really suck! I know-I suffer with them too. I also suffer with depression and insomnia. I then fall asleep during the day. These are probably all related somehow. I know if I don't get enough sleep or sleep too much, this can bring on a migraine. And living like that can make anyone feel their life sucks!!!\nDo you get any auras before a headache. I get "floaters" (tiny little lights a lot like fireflies!).\nI would ask to have your thyroid checked and get tested for diabetes. Both of these can cause daytime sleepiness, headaches and depression.I was found to have both. \nI treat my headaches with Tylenol#3 (codeine) I take Celexa for the depression. This usually cures the insomnia but I ***occassionally***take a sleep aid.\nAlso try some relaxtion techniques-it may sound corny but they really work. And try to stop worrying about it all-stress will just create a vicious circle of headaches and depression!!!

By the time you get the scalp tingling, you have a pretty chronic condition present.. Any bumps you have had to the head causes micro-trauma to the neck... the result is the chronic inflammatory condition that is generally sub acute.. When there is any stress to the body (or emotionally) it can trigger that sub-acute stage into the acute.. To determine the actuality of what I am saying, turn your head from one side to the other and see which side has restricted motion. There is unequal muscle tension in the neck which is subject to irritation by movement. It involve several of the cranial nerves, as you outlined in your description. You may also check for tenderness to pain by pressing at the base of the skull. All indicators of an active inflammatory process .\n\nYou may find much relief by visiting your doctor of Chiropractic.. These are routine problems they deal with daily.. even after patients have tried everything else.

Dear Lillypetal,\nhi.. im a Dentist. the clenching U say u got is called Bruxism. did U get a filling done recently? it maybe cos a little extra filling material was put into the cavity(called a high point) its like a bump n u may subconsciously be trying to get your teeth to close well but aren able to.\nthis may sound stupid.. but when was the last time U went in for De worming medication....? u may require a course. ask your pharmacist. (ALBENDAZOLE)\nsomeone else suggested U get a guard that sports people use( such as football players or even boxers) u might want to try that.\ndo U have wax in your ears? if so then u need a clean up. use a wax dissolving liquid(ask for something with Paradichlorobenzene and benzocaine in it)\nif u got loads of problems on your mind n like U say u reallly need the sleep U could take 0.25mg of Alprazolam..its an anti anxiety drug. please don take on regular basis!\nYour cheek muscles(especially just below your ear) could hurt real bad when U wake up. try soaking a towel in warm water n applying in it.steamin could help too.\ntry chewing on some bubblegum.\nif facial muscle soreness is a problem U could have muscle spasm. in that case take an anti spasmodic(something U use for menstrual cramps show do just fine). donot take it if Ur facial muscles don feel sore.\ntry sucking on a lozenge.\nlastly this show help in some way or the other- follow religiously before U go to bed...brush teeth really wellusing the least amount of force U can(NOT TOO HARD!!). floss gently. see that teeth are squeaky clean.\nuse a good mouthwash(preferably something with CHLOREXHIDINE and ZINC) if not available. thorough warm salt water gargles should help.\ni have never seen U so i need U to make a decision as to what exactly is your problem.. thats why the long list of possible solutions.!\ntake care n really hope U get some sleep tonight.\nsweet dreams!

jaw issues can relate to neck and spine misallignments .. can check it out with a physio or chiropractor or something  jaw issues can lead to headaches all because the pressure and allignment are wrong !!

When it's generalized pain in the maxillary it's usually just your sinuses.  Since your maxillary teeth roots are so close to your sinuses that when the sinus cavity is inflammed it messes with the roots.  Your fine and if so many different opinions say the rct is fine you're good to go.  Just keep treating the sinuses and your complaint should resolve.

Hi,\nYes it is normal to be sore for a few days. Getting that temporary crown off can be a bit of a trip also. It should settle and should be more comfortable soon. Not sure if the post goes into the jawbone. There is a procedure that screws into the jawbone with a cap, but usually I think a crown is a post going up into the root canal. Sleepiness may be just your body reaction to the trauma of the day and telling you to have a rest,\nRegards,\n\nBuzz

It may be a vast change from your norm...and if you are used to coffee or soda (caffiene) that can cause the headaches and most diet programs discourage drinking caffienated drinks.\n\nHang in there a while longer if you can...it may just take your body a few days to adjust...and take some ibuprofen for that headache...

If your Doctor said that it is not migrains then it is probably tension headaches.  This is cause by contraction of some of the back muscles related to stress such as Trapezius, semispinalis capitits, splenious capitis etc.. Basically this tension that most probably is triggered by some sort of stress puts pressure on a spinal nerve coming out of the spinal cord that inhibits the optimum potential of your body to function properly.. Chiropractic uses a non invasive procedure to remove that nerve interference and permit the body to function in harmony without obstruction.. Chiropractic is proven and documented by peer reviewed journals to be effective with patients that have headaches.. What you don't want to do is rely on medication because your body will adapt to the chemicals and you'll always have to take them to feel normal.. Don't forget about the side effects that all medications have especially to the liver!!!! Get your spine checked and the headaches will go away..

I've got TMJ as well. I have a constant headache that sometimes gets really bad, if I forget to take painkillers then I feel really spaced out, can't think and sometimes feel like I'm going to fall over but don't. I also get problems with my ears from TMJ (tinnitus, over-sensitivity to noise, ear ache) so maybe it causes problems in the part of the ear which controls your balance. Hope you find some answers, good luck.

I agree, sounds like TMJS. (temporomandibular joint syn.)\nHeat, anti-inflammatories (Motrin, Alleve etc.) and avoiding chewing gum, grinding teeth etc are good to try first.  Surgery for this condition is generally marginal at best.  Some patients benefit from an oral splint to prevent tooth grinding (bruxism).\nI agree, see a doctor if symptoms persist.

The inclusion of the menstual cycle with migraine only indicates you are walking a very thin line with your problem. The edema associated with menstruation takes you over that line and brings about the condition of Migraine Syndrome. You have found yourself in a  chronic, sub-acute state.. Having a low grade inflammatory process involving more than one of the cranial nerves. Any increase in body tension or bloat of menses would trigger this chronic condition to go into a full blown acute stage. \n\nPerhaps it is time to have this checked out..You can do some of the evaluation just by turning your head and seeing which side is restricted.. find the notch in the eye brow and see if it is tender to sore... there is also another hole on the inner side of the cheek bone..these are the places where the nerve exits the skull..may also check the base of the skull and will find tender to sore area on one side. You may even have evidence of tender areas on the scalp.\n\nShould you find all these points active, you may want to consider visiting a doctor of Chiropractic for relief. Treat the problem rather than the symptoms.
