Question 1

pain under chin, skin surface area near thup left side of throat when i sallow or yawn?

Accepted Answer

: Probably worth seeing a doctor in person to check for swollen lymph nodes or any throat or skin changes. Other details that may help include how long has this been going on, are you left-handed, any recent dental work (or do you need to see a dentist)?

Question 2

laugh/yawn really hard my jaw gets locked it's on the bit between the neck and chin it feels like something is getting stuck it's hard to describe had it for a while i grind my teeth out of anxiety alot and there's no pain? i'm very worried about it?

Accepted Answer

: I suspect that your temporomandibular joint is tight from chronic stress and this causes cramping of jaw muscles when you yawn. It's like a charley horse in your leg. An oral surgeon can evaluate &amp; advise you. Stress management therapy. should help alleviate chronic stress and/or anxiety.

Question 7

my boyfriend yawned and now has excruciating pain at the top of his head. could this be an anurysm?

Accepted Answer

Possible..: If this is something he never had before and the symptom is that severe, i would take him to the er now. Virtually evryone yawns here and there and should not cause any pain, especially inside the head as in his case--excrucitaing! so, take him now--i don't want to be an alarmist, but it does not sound good in his case. Good luck.
