A member asked:
What causes pain in the left scalp ( occipital and parietal ) region when patient swallow ??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
? TMJ: This sounds like a muscle tension problem, and one of the features of temporomandibular joint syndrome is pain associated with swallowing. The jaw hinge joint, or TMJ, is very susceptible to stress and effects from muscle tension. I suspect the muscle overlying the scalp area you describe is being affected. Practice relaxation techniques and see dentist for help with TMJ syndrome. Good wishes:)
