Good morning everyone, I have had 2 great days but this morning i woke up with awful ear pressure and jaw tension. I never experienced this before, has anyone had these symptoms before? Ifs actually very scary and I just need some reassurance that everything is ok and that this tension will pass.

Ugh, I have that on a daily basis. I had an ear drum burst many years ago, and now it has retracted. I always feel off balance because of my severe allergies. It is very difficult for me to relax my jaw. I hate it, and I can only imagine how scary it would be for someone who doesn't normally feel this way.

Do you have allergies or a tooth that may need attention? Barometric pressure changes can cause inner ear disturbances as well. I hope this passes quickly for you.

Hi PFC,

Jake'sMom mentioned some good considerations...congestion, weather, dental issues are all things to rule out...

Also clenching/bruxism at night could account for how you are feeling.

If after taking a decongestant (if you feel it's needed)...and doing some progressive muscle relaxation/massage of the area...you are still feeling discomfort, checking in with your doctor would be a good move.

Hoping you feel better soon,

S.C.

Hi!

You are probably just clenching your teeth, happens to me all the time!

You could talk to your dentist to get a mouth guard so your teeth/jaw doesn't suffer.

Hope you are feeling better!

sadly, i have had it as well. Everyone has different symptoms. Some people have it constanstlt. Luckily for me i have only had it 3 times in the past 2 months. Depending on who you are, it usually passes. Sorry to hear about your symptoms. Good luck! quote="PFC1986"]Good morning everyone, I have had 2 great days but this morning i woke up with awful ear pressure and jaw tension.
