Seek care: Your symptoms all seem to relate to your anxiety. Please see a mental health professional, preferably a Psychiatrist, for help dealing with your anxiety issues. Your Dentist can fabricate a night guard, an Occlusal Orthotic, to help prevent tooth damage from grinding.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.

Anxiety: symptoms are not a sign of illness, they are the mind's ability to produce the "flight or fight" response which gives rise to many physiological changes include chin tingling, heart palpitations, nausea, dry mouth, etc. Depending on the cause of your anxiety symptoms, your health care provider can provide you with treatment options. See a dentist for teeth grinding consultation.

This is a case for: visiting your MD, especially for the symptoms of being hot and cold. That could be caused by LOTS of conditions, some medical. Teeth grinding (Bruxism) usually signals too much tension/stress. The dull ache could come from that or sinus conditions--again see your MD or dentist for these. Stress? Consult a psychologist to see what drives your anxiety.

Stressed out?: It could be a myriad of possibilities. 1) Stress 2) Occlusal Dis-harmony 3) Clenching/TMJ issue. Try a night/occlusal guard (bite plate) 1st. If that doesn't mitigate the symptoms, see an orofacial pain specialist or a neurologist. No offense, b you may want to even throw in a consultation with a psychiatrist/psychologist to be safe. Life is hard enough as it is...don't make it harder.

See MD: See MD, May need anxiety treatment. See DDS for night guard to protect teeth from grinding.

Heat & Anxiety: may be related to thyroid imbalance or other hormonal issues. Please see your doc to assess this and then a mental health professional to learn ways to deal with your anxiety. I think you will find the above very helpful. Peace and good health.

Anxiety: can do strange things to one's body. Tension headaches are possible, changes in adrenaline levels, muscle tension, changes in heart rate and blood pressure, GI symptoms, etc... Try seeking a Yoga coach, massage therapy, walking at least 10 minutes twice a day, limit or eliminate refined carbohydrates, avoid caffeine if possible (or only small daily amount), meditation...

DDS & MD: Your questions are best answered by seeking a consultation with a dentist for your dental symptoms and a physician for your anxiety and energy levels. You can't get an accurate diagnosis and certainly can't get proper treatment over the internet. Make some telephone calls. Feel better.

Grinding: Some of the symptoms that you describe can be associated with bruxism or teeth grinding/clenching. Temperature sensitivity. Teeth aching. Headaches. These can be accelerated by stress and anxiety. See your dentist about an occlusal guard.

Many variables: The symptoms you describe could be associated with changing hormones, stress or adrenal fatigue, all of which can affect your general wellness and your oral health. Hormonal imbalance can change the acidity in your mouth and make you more prone to gum disease. Research shows that fluctuating hormones can also increase anxiety. With the right care, you can feel like your old self again

Contact DDS or MD: Did you go to the dentist or primary care MD for an evaluation?. From the dental point of view, may be TMJ related, but need to be seen to be properly evaluated that the pain is of dental etiology,whether TMJ, caries or periodontally related.
