Facial pain: One of the side effects of stress is bruxism (chronic teeth grinding and/or clenching), which can cause facial, jaw and tooth pain, and headaches and migraines. If the facial pain lasts longer than 10 days, see a dentist for an evaluation. If it is not a dental problem, see your medical doctor or an ENT specialist.

Anxiety symptoms: Anxiety can produce a wide range of symptoms, some which seem like neurological, or make you feel like you are losing your mind. But you don't actually "lose your mind" and I have a great handout and explanation of how a disturbing or stressful event can spin out of control and feel crazy-making. Effective therapy can resolve the anxiety and the symptoms are resolved! Don't give up-therapy works!

Bruxism: Symptoms suggest bruxism -clenching and/or grinding teeth in response to anxiety. Get anxiety controlled. If face symptoms persist, see orofacial-TMJ specialist.
