A member asked:

Wondering about jaw pain & heart attack... what does it feel like. does your jaw feel like it may lock up & is it hard to chew. discomfort in back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not typically: What you are describing sounds more like a jaw joint problem. See your Dentist for treatment or referral. If you have cardiac concerns, better to be safe than sorry. See your Physician to establish a baseline.
