So I’ve been feeling a bit of a weird tightness since two days.It wasn’t that obvious two days ago.It was just like weird feeling.But yesterday all of a sudden the tightness increased and my jaw and throat became tight and I wasn’t able to stick my tongue out and I got sooo anxious and confused .i went to the doctor to talk about this and she said I was scared and tensed and that’s why this happened and I had a good amount of sleep but the feeling of tightness is still there in my jaw and throat and there’s pressure in my ear.It’s hard to swallow food too.So I wanna is this my anxiety or something else ?
Hi, do you have a history with anxiety and did this happen during a stressful period? It could well be tension and your focusing on it could have made it escalate. My jaw is sore because my anxiety is bad and I’m grinding my teeth in my sleep. You could well be tensing so much it’s causing this. Also anxiety can make it hard to swallow food. Did the doctor check your ears for any signs of infection? That’s the only other thing given the ear pressure. Hopefully it will get better by itself fairly quickly. Feel better soon.
I do have bad anxiety but it hasn’t been diagnosed.I’m an extreme hypochondriac so no matter what the doctor says I feel like something is still wrong.She said I’m perfectly alright.I had ECG,X-ray,ultrasound and even blood tests.All came out Normal.She said I’m being scared for nothing.But this happened just minutes before I was going to meet my doctor.I’ve had neck pain since 2 weeks and gone to doc a lot and they said it’s cuz of my posture and using phone.But it still persists but the doctor took x ray of my spine and said I’m alright it’s just a muscle spasm.Am I really alright and just being really anxious?
It’s most likely anxiety. I would recommend seeing a chiropractor. Mine could always tell from my neck muscles that I was tense! I went there for an ongoing back problem and since seeing him it hasn’t come back.
