A member asked:

My jaw feels really tight. like it kind of feels like it's drooping. should i be concerned about this or could it just be anxiety?

Exam: If you are having a problem it is always prudent to seek a professional evaluation. The symptoms you describe are too general and vague to establish a diagnosis.

Jaw: Anxiety is the most likely answer. Try meditation or yoga. Good Luck
