popped bubble in mouth, then a second one appeared. what's going on?

Question

Hear a popping sound in my head like air bubble. Sometimes I feel like there's something outstretched in it. It hurts sometimes.

Answer 1

Need a photo: Without a photo or more accurate description that shows the area and size of the "air pocket" it is impossible to tell. See your dentist for an evaluation.

Answer 2

No worries: This sounds like mild acid reflux. If this occurs only when bending over, i would just be more cautious with the bending. If you are having other symptoms of heartburn or if the sour taste becomes more prominent with other or no activities, then it should be brought up with your doctor.

Answer 3

GERD ?: Have your physician evaluate you for acid reflux

Answer 4

Reflux: This is probably reflux. You can try eating smaller meals and see if this helps. You can see if reflux meds help these symptoms. You may need Prilosec twice a day and Zantac (ranitidine) at night. See your ent and he or she can scope you or look at your larynx with a mirror to determine if you have findings consistent with reflux. Good luck and feel better. See other answers under my name and reflux.

Answer 5

Yes: It is safe to give mouth to mouth respirations to healthy and not so healthy people. Very few (if any) infections could be transmitted by mouth to mouth breathing. That said, many people do not feel comfortable performing mouth to mouth breathing, particularly on a stranger. If this is the case, chest compression only CPR (no mouth breathing) has been shown to be an effective way to perform cpr.

Answer 6

Maybe: Only way to know is to try it. But don't give up after only one treatment. And i would also get more than one opinion before jumping into expensive therapies before other options are tried.

Answer 7

Yes: Bite plates can be very helpful. They must be properly designed and adjusted to a neuromuscularly balanced and physiologic position. They are both diagnostic and therapeutic.

Answer 8

Maybe: Tmj is a group of disorders related to the jaw joint and not a diagnosis. There are multiple causes of "tmj" from muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, or even tumors. The most effective treatment may be not be a mouthguard. Furthermore, there are many types of mouth guards and they do different things. One kind can make certain conditions better and other conditions worse.

Answer 9

Yes: Often, yes. Not always. Make sure you are being treated by a TMJ expert.

Answer 10

Please: Be evaluated by your dentist or oral surgeon.

Answer 11

Needs to be seen: It may or may not be normal and would have to be seen to know which one it was.
