Back with more weird symptoms

Hello again everyone,

First of all I hope that everyone is doing well. Unfortunately even though my anxiety was better for some months, I am back with more weird symptoms. I still have all the chest pains that I used to have before, sometimes increased heart rate and everything, which I do not mind so much anymore.

I have been under a lot of stress lately(parents visited from Greece and left, long working hours, full time school, financial worries) and together with that more symptoms came that kinda worry me. For the past 5 days I have been having facial pain at the left side of my face, mostly where my cheek is in the back, closer to my ear, some pain where the jaw is and then more going up. It feels like someone is pushing my face, pain and tightness of the face muscles and I also have some twitches under my left eye. Also the left side of my face is burning often, my ears actually keep on turning red and burning lately. I have horrible neck/shoulder/arm/chest and back pain all over my body(not all at the same time, also not radiating) and I feel like I can't relax at all. This moment that I am writing, the left side of my face is burning and I have pain behind my eye and start feeling a headache coming.

Anyone has ever had anything like that? I hate to be anxious like that again and reading online does not help at all. There are so many things that they say that it might be(from lyme, to belsy pals or something), I just want to get over it and move forward again.

Thank you,
John

Hi IDk,

Well i have the same symptoms... My head gets heavy...a pressure sort off and the my one of the temples get a wiered pointed heavy feeling.. Going down from my temple area to my cheek bone I have this pressure or tightness on the cheeks side near to the ear.... Or below the eye .... I have pressure or pain.... I get stuffy ears ..like my one of the ear is closed..... I get eye pain and stichy eye....left or sometimes right.... So this is stress after all ..not to mention my sinuses too but i beleive its my stress :)

Thank you so much everyone for your responses! I have been a mess the last days and unfortunately the therapist that I had visited did not help me at all... Tonight I have some numbness under and on top of my left chest and kinda numbness on my left side of my back... I had blood work done for my physical and I am going to the dr tomorrow for my yearly physical... Wish me luck, I hope everything is fine, he did a cardio crp without me asking and I am hoping that it's fine... I mean, what are the chances of me having something after going for all those tests? EKG,echo, stress test,x-Ray,24 holter, blood works, I not sure if my mind will ever get satisfied from any exam anymore...

So, my cardio crp was great, all blood work was totally fine 😊 The only thing that he found was increase in the iron that the body deposits or iron overload as he called it. He is not sure if I have it, he told me that we will check in spring again with another blood work. He wants me to get checked for h pylori though. I am still kinda anxious and even though I know it's in my head I kinda worry. I got tonight a chest pressure lasting for a second followed by nausea and gas... Thinking it might be my stomach after all 😕

Hi,

I've had the same symptoms and this is what it was for me (found out from dentist, confirmed my suspicions)…jaw clenching due to dehydration and anxiety….at night…clenching my jaw in my sleep (he said it's more common in woman)…leads to facial fatigue, soreness. I sometimes notice super fatigue in my chin too, but (again) only when I'm stressed.
