May be, worth a trip: Many people "hold" or express their tension with their body, particularly true with anxiety. Your primary care doc is one of the best first stops to explore what is going on. Next stop, if like many you haven't been in a long while, is your dentist. Anxiety and TMJ often co-occur and can contribute to neck, shoulder, jaw and headache pain. Reach out now while you're motivated!
