Question 1

Why would the right side of face feels tighter than left side and have headaches only on right side? it's been about a year since started

Accepted Answer

The pathophysiology of headaches involves many things, from releases of certain neurotransmitters to changes in blood flow and permeability of vasculature.  Subtle swelling on one side of the face or the other, and/or constriction of swelling, can give a differential subjective feeling.  Thus, one side of the head/face or other may be felt to be different.

Question 2

Why does the right neck/side of face go numb and tingly for 10 sec when slightly strained by moving it to look to my left? it constantly feels tight.

Accepted Answer

If you stretch the neck by looking towards the left and the tingling is on the right side, that is produced by muscle tension; the opposite may be produced by neck spondylosis and reduced size of the neural foramina. It is probably muscle tension and a very benign problem that could goes away with massage, ice and tylenol (acetaminophen).

Question 3

Suffering from headache, left side of face actually feels tight and tender almost like pins and needles, sharp pain in head?

Accepted Answer

Most people get a headache at some time, such as from colds, infections, lack of sleep, too much driving, long hours on the computer, stress at work, etc... A bad or increasing headache, recurrent headache, weird headache, or one with other worrisome symptoms (such as facial symptoms in this case) needs to be examined by a doctor. The nerve to the face area may be involved.

Question 4

Jaw feels tight and have some pain. eye feels different than the other on same side. vision doesnt seem to be affected. overall pressure on that side of face. have tmj and severe anxiety?

Accepted Answer

You appear to possess jaw problems which could explain your symptoms.  Would see your local dentist, if this has not been done.  Several dentists specialize in TMJ issues, and fabricate nocturnal splints which may provide profound benefit.  In my experience, outcomes have been well received.

Question 5

Sense of trigmenial tightness on right side of face for 5 months. no pain just tightness and pressure feeling. blood tes all normal. will it go away?

Accepted Answer

If you are experiencing tightness, this is more likely your facial nerve.  Also, could be something associated with your electrolytes. CN 5 should move your jaw, CN 7 moves rest of your face.

Question 6

Tightness in jaw, clicking when i open my mouth, right side of face, teeth, jaw, have intense pain randomly throughout year. this is tmj not sinusitis?

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you are describing fit more with TMJ disease. Follow up with your dentist or oral surgeon.

Question 7

I have tmj. yest right side of face cheek and jaw started feeling tight with pressure off & on slight eye pain. getting cramps,spasms, pain in my right jaw. feels like someone is pulling on it. never had these symptoms all at once. scared?

Accepted Answer

TMJ is a condition that involves inflammation of the joint as well as spasms and pain in the surrounding muscles. It is difficult to treat without addressing the underlying conditions (often jaw clenching and sleep chewing). Talk to your Dentist about an assessment to check if there are signs of these as they can be treated. Talk to your regular Dr about temporary treatment for inflammation.

Question 8

Ear & jaw pain, lazy feeling right side of face. sore/tight shoulders & neck. tingling in feet. small head "jerks" when relaxing. also suffer anxiety.

Accepted Answer

Jaw and ear pain, and sore shoulder and neck might be due to TMJ dysfunction. This is often the result of bruxism (chronic teeth grinding and/or clenching), which is often caused by stress. See your dentist for a diagnosis and treatment.
See your medical doctor for the feet tingling, especially if it is recurring or lasts longer than 7-10 days.

Question 9

I have earache, a numb left side of face, tightness in my cheek, dizziness, stabbing head pain in left side, any info much appreciated?

Accepted Answer

You may have migraines with vertigo ( vertebro basilar migraines ) if your symptoms are intermittent.

Question 10

Woke up hr ago, lft side of face tight/hard to move. couldn't lift eyes. that went away bt now arm goes numb and i have increasingly painful headache?

Accepted Answer

Go to the emergency room immediately. This may turn out to be from a bad complicated migraine headache, but you must go to rule out brain aneurysm, stroke, or transient ischemic attack. There are other neurological conditions that must be considered as well. For now, you must go rule out life threatening conditions.
