Brain Fog, Sudden Dizziness, Vertigo?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi. I'm not here to ask for advice. I just thought this might help. Please have your jaw checked if you have the following symptoms: Vertigo, brain fog, heavy head feeling, lump in the throat, constant unsteadiness, stuffy ears, tingling fingers...I've had these symptoms for years, and I was diagnosed with TMJ disorder. I didn't have a clue what it was because I didn't have jaw pain. I am being treated by a TMJ dentist. I am far from healed, but I've experienced noticeable relief. And at least now I know where it's coming from. You might not have TMJ disorder, but it might help to rule it out. God bless! Hope this helps.

TMJ disorder is like an umbrella of symptoms. It's very broad. I didn't have a clue what it was because I didn't have jaw pain. When my jaw started clicking (no pain), that was when I thought of going to a dentist. I had been to different doctors before this (including a cardiologist!). I had a series of x-rays especially in the jaw area. They also created a plaster cast of my teeth.

I had a series of x-rays especially in the jaw area. They also created a plaster cast of my teeth. I had a CT scan of my ears prior to these, but it didn't detect anything. My ENT doc thought I had a tumor in my ear or something because it seemed like that was where the problem started. It turned out it was my jaw joints. That explains why I had stuffy ears.

Yes, I think it is definitely related. I've been having the same experiences and just found out I am tongue tied and have jaw issues myself. I go in next month to have my frenulum lazered off and working with a Myofunctional Therapist to strengthen my tongue and jaw. I'm excited at the prospect of feeling better!
